Camp Eva of Mountaindale

There are certain Mountaindale summer places that still have very strong nostalgic ties to this day. Camp Eva of Mountaindale is one of them. Edward Bieber is anxious to hear from folks who want to remember Camp Eva so please Post your Comments below. I'll start the conversation with a fabulous story from Sandra Farber from August 2001


i spent the summer in mountaindale the year that japan surrendered. august, 1945. we were in a bungalow owned by a man named recht (spelling might be off.) i was quite young, but remember that my mom and i used to go huckleberry picking in back of this bungalow. the main street was near the place and if i remember correctly, was quite small. two years ago i was in winn-dixie in west palm beach, fl with my dad and there was a man giving out samples of some kind of cooked chicken. i stopped, took a piece and the conversation somehow went to the mountains in ny of course.

i told him how i spent a summer, before i started going to camp in mountaindale also,and i mentioned mountaindale. well, he came from mountaindale and was there, of course, when i was there. we were laughing and saying mountaindale over and over. a woman pushing her loaded cart overheard us and said that she was in mountaindale also at that time. imagine this, winn-dixie in w.palm, in the meat dept. and four people, me, my dad, this man and the woman. MOUNTAINDALE in common. i do not think it gets much better.
the name of the camp was camp eva, mothers club camp. if anyone remembers any of this, please email me. it would be great.
