History of Camp Cory

Summertime memories of Camp Cory are awash in warm emotion. From the Reveille bugle at first light to Taps in the evening, those days were the absolute best. Skippering a K-boat on cool Keuka Lake. Silly songs and skits performed into the night. The boundless nature of genuine friendship. It is hard to explain exactly why that time is so special, how it changes lives forever. This wonderful mystery is revealed here by official Camp Cory historian Bo Shoemaker. So gather around the campfire to reminisce. Just be sure to watch out for the H Man!
