I attended Camp Deal from approximately 1956-1961. I remember one counselor’s name – Heshy. There were two Syrian kids from Bensonhurst in my bunk plus one childhood friend. I don’t remember anyone else.. Among all the people I knew who went to summer camp, this one was definitely the cheapest edited We couldn’t afford a better one apparently. There was a theme song we sang “Ay Yi Yi Yi Kus, nobody’s like us, we are the boys of old Camp Deal, always a winning always a grinning always a feeling fine, ay yi yi, etc.
Other camps had rowing, horse back riding, etc. We had torn window screens, baseball, basketball, a pool, marching, not much else. I remember doing some fun skits in the “rec” hall and watching movies on rainy days.
