| Tue Sep 13, 2011 07:38:34 Ken Rautiola Camper 1981-1988; camp staff 1986 | Still many fond memories of Camp Hinds. I brought my two children (ages 5 and 7) to visit camp this summer. It was great to see them excited about Camp. Hoping they get to experience Camp life first hand in the years to come. | ||

I have never met anyone who did not look fondly on their summers at camp. This site is a wonderful way to remember and acknowledge how much we all love and cherish Camp Hinds and the people who made camp such a wonderful place. | ||
| Tue Jul 26, 2011 19:30:47 Greg Thuotte Camper 72-73, CIT 74, Staff 75 | I've enjoyed reviewing the photos and information over the last several years. I appreciate the comments and updates! Steve Trimble and I visited Hinds last year while we were riding in the MS 150 mile bike a thon and had a great walk down memory lane! It was a ball. Hinds and scouting helped point many in the right direction and continue to do the same today. | ||

| Sun Jun 26, 2011 17:17:47 Ed Meyers Camper 1967-1970 | Stumbled upon this wonderful site, thank you. I have many fond memories of my summers at the camp, the old town wood canvas canoes, swimming, campfires. The only time they had a TV there so we could watch the moon landing. Completed my Order of the Arrow ordeal there in 1970. Too many memories to list. I'm going to go back through my photo albums to see if I have any of my old photos. | ||

| Mon Jun 06, 2011 07:06:07 Cathy Foster Lemar Fred Foster, Sr. | My post was misleading. My grandfather was in the house in the fifties and sixties. Later in the seventies I visited the house again. I closed my eyes and it the smells brought back fond memories. I visited the bedroom that I slept in while there. I remember a picture of Queen Elizabeth above one of the beds. | ||
| Mon Jun 06, 2011 07:01:29 Cathy Foster Lemar Fred Foster, Sr. | As Fred and Doris
Foster's
granddaughter, I
spent a lot of time
in Raymond in the
house, training
center, and camp
area. I have so
many fond memories,
it would be
difficult to list
them. My grandparents were kind, loving people. I visited the camp ranger house where they lived in the seventies. I remember the stairway to the attic still had photos and the old crank telephone on the steps. I remember my grandmother cranking it to make a call. I remember their old cylinder record player, singing in the living room, family gatherings at Thanksgiving, laying in the back field hiding in the tall grass, and picking Mayflowers with my grandmother. My grandfather made me and my brother a kite, my brother's got lost to one of those tall pines. I remember trying to get the boycouts in the backyard to talk, but they wouldn't as they were working on a badge. When I see the pictures on these pages, it warms my heart. Thank you for the place where many of my childhood memories were born! | ||

| Sat May 07, 2011 11:50:03 Bruce Foster My Grandfather was the Camp Ranger | My Grandfather, Fred Foster, and his wife Dorris lived in the big white house across from the entrance to Camp Hinds. My father, Herman Foster, was a professional Boy Scout setting up camps and troops all over New England in the late 50's and into the 70's. My brother Jim and I grew up spending our summers at Camp Hinds with our grandparents. My brother made the rank of Life Scout and was in the order of the arrow. I made Eagle in 1967 and was in the order of the arrow also. My sister Kaye has a son Colby, who made Eagle in Utah a couple of years ago. Dad was an eagle Scout, order of the arrow also. Dad and I got over 50 Merit badges each. Our Grandfather, Fred Foster was the camp Ranger in the 50' and 60's. |
