Incarnation Camp
Incarnation Camp is a nonprofit, traditional Summer Camp located in Essex, Connecticut. The camp was established in 1886. It is the oldest, co-ed, continually operated summer camp in the USA.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.ottertooth.com/Camps/camps-us.htm )〕
== Early history ==
In 1886, the The Church of the Incarnation in Manhattan, located on Madison Ave. and 35th Street, NYC, rented a farmhouse in Mohegan Lake from R. Horne as part of a “fresh air” program sponsored by the New York Tribune. Children from the tenements of New York’s lower East Side, many of whom immigrated here from Europe with their families during the 1880s, were taken from often squalid living conditions to spend a week in the fresh country air of upstate New York. The Rev. Arthur Brooks of Incarnation persuaded his parishioners to rent the furnished farmhouse, and on June 19, 1886 25 young boys and girls from the east side of Manhattan became the first campers. Each summer, some 230 children benefited from the experience.
Eight years later, in 1894, Incarnation parish raised $7000 for the purchase of the farmhouse, plus an adjacent barn and a total of five acres “to be used for the purposes of a summer home for the poor of the parish.” Also that year, a parishioner made a contribution to have a swimming pool installed, complete with pumps that replenished it with water from Lake Mohegan, half a mile away. A second home was built in 1895, called Brooks Cottage, which was used specifically for the parish’s Bethlehem Day Nursery.
In 1925 Incarnation Camp was relocated to St. Johnsland in Kings Park, New York〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.incarnationcenter.org/history.htm )〕
