I’m reaching out with some wonderful news and a heartfelt thank you. Dr. Louis Moskowitz has generously made a donation to the Fleetville Volunteer Fire Company in honor of Kamp Kewanee. In recognition of this meaningful gift, our Board of Directors unanimously voted to designate the donation as a sponsorship of our 7th Annual Fleetville Fall Fair. As part of the sponsorship, the Kamp Kewanee logo will be proudly displayed on our event staff shirts, website, Facebook page, and sponsor appreciation banners throughout the Fair. We are incredibly grateful for this memorial donation and would love to invite all of you to join us for the event: **7th Annual Fleetville Fall Fair** We would also be honored if any Kamp Kewanee members, alumni, family, or friends would be interested in setting up a small historical display at the Fair. Photos, memorabilia, stories, or other pieces of Kamp Kewanee history would be a wonderful addition to the day and an opportunity to share that history with the community. I have spent some time looking through the photo library, and it is truly amazing. While I wasn’t born and raised in Pennsylvania, I consider this area home, and I think Kamp Kewanee is a fascinating piece of Benton Township history. Many of our board members and fire company members remember the Kamp personally, and when Dr. Moskowitz made this contribution, it immediately brought back stories and memories. You can find our Facebook Event page here: More information about the Fleetville Volunteer Fire Company is available here: I will also be working on recreating the Kamp Kewanee logo for use with the sponsorship. If someone has an original or high-resolution logo file they would be willing to share, we would greatly appreciate it. If you have any questions or would like to participate in the Fair with Kamp Kewanee historical display, please feel free to contact me. Michelle Ross And once again, a very special thank you to Dr. Moskowitz. We are sincerely grateful for your generosity and for giving us the opportunity to recognize and remember a special part of our community’s history. Have a blessed day, Michelle Ross
Me and some friends were up at a lake house on lake Manataka and came across your kamp. We were wondering why the kamp stopped back in 1975? We are so eager to learn more about the stories and memories created there!! -G

Have a great reunion. I won’t be there, but I will be thinking of you. Keep the kamp fire burning. All the best. Hank.
A real shock to the family, there are no words!
I learned about this terrible news from a school friend of mine who became friends with Alan at Harvard. You can google Alan Kaufmann if you want more information. This is just so so sad.
From time to time I have the urge to look back on Kewanee memories and thanks to the internet I can afford myself of the opportunity--which I did today. I end each session with "When the moon shines" as i did today. I also think of my father who paid the bills for myself AND my 2 brothers: Mal and Steve. So in the mid forties my Dad was shelling out $2000. per summer in the MID FORTIES!! Thanks Dad ;
