HISTORY OF THE FRESH AIR SOCIETY
1950-1980: A TIME FOR GROWTH
This was a time for growth at Camp Tamarack. Deroy, Fishman,
Sheruth, Berman, Levison, and Specialty Villages were constructed
and opened during the fifties and sixties. Campers would live in
different villages according to age and gender. These villages still
are being used today.
In 1963, Mr. And Mrs. Edward C. Levy donated Camp Kennedy,
the former hunting lodge of Governor Green located in the Upper
Peninsula. The Charles N. Agree Oupost Camp located in Wawa,
Ontario, was a gift of the Agree family in 1971.
In 1970, the Butzel Conference Center was built in Ortonville to
serve senior adults. Today, Butzel is still used for Elderhostel pro-
grams, as well as Family Camps.
Teen travel trips originated in 1975. Two trips, one headed west,
the other east, provided travel and outdoor camping experiences
for older teenagers. The Western Trip is still being used today.
