Summer Camp Review - 2012

While I edit together a new kinoks movie, here are a few placeholder views of my return trip to Camp Robbinswold. Thanks to Sara T. (and an amazing cast of extras) for performing as my camp hands and feet since my historical surrogate was unavailable.

Archival Camp

I'm heading off to my childhood summer camp for a much needed, late August media disconnect. In lieu of a twitter feed I'm posting these photos of my future self enjoying camp activities.

Shopping from 1952: Summer Camp Kit

Next week, I'll be heading to the Hood Canal for a weekend at my old summer camp. Since I'm fulfilling my packing list from the pages of the 1952 LL Bean catalog, I'll only need to shop for few perishable provisions (coffee beans, 35mm film and almonds).

I have a two shoe rule for traveling but I couldn't decide between the no-sole moccasin, camp oxford and canoe shoe, so I'll pack all three (and throw in the 9" moccasins just in case I do some ad hoc tramping and fishing).

All my gear will be packed in Bean Zipper Duffles and our trusty A.C. rucksack (camp tested by Sweet Juniper).
