Binder said. "There was a very cre-
ative ethos at camp that I loved and
it made a big impact on me."

Time To Kvell
For most Tamakwans, the 75th anniver-
sary is a source of pride.
"I hope Lou is somewhere up there
smiling and feeling 'Boy, look at what
I started and look at its residual effect,
still giving:" Binder said. "I feel like a
part of a very unique and select club
that I'm happy to be connected with?'
The camp doesn't seem to have lost
any relevance on current campers
despite its advanced age.
"Tamakwa is an experience unlike
anything else you get in the city' says
Bennet Magy, 16, of Birmingham, who
just spent his seventh summer at camp.
"Doing certain things and tackling chal-
lenges I might not otherwise have done
has made me more open-minded:'
Brian Colton, 12, of Birmingham
has spent five summers at Tamakwa.
"Tamakwa has helped me learn life
skills and taught me to adopt a bet-
ter attitude in life," he said. "Camp has
shown me to be more open to different
things. When you're on a canoe trip, and
you have to sleep in a tent with others,
you really get to know them and if you
had grievances with someone before,
you learn to work it out and make the
best of it. Also, on canoe trips you really
get to see nature better and appreciate it
more.You learn to be nicer to the envi-
ronment:'
Gabi Stone, 15, of Bloomfield Hills
has spent eight summers at camp.
"Tamakwa has helped me become a
better person and learn the importance
of a positive attitude. It has shaped
my personality through experiences I
wouldn't have had at home'
After 75 years of creating some of the
best moments in people's lives as well
as lifelong friendships, it's little surprise
Tamakwans are celebrating such a
benchmark anniversary and reminisc-
ing about a place they find unforget-
table.
"I don't know if you've ever gone to
a party and you walk in and you're just
not part of the party' said Jerry Cohn.
"Every summer I came to Tamakwa, I
felt part of the party. It made for quite
an experience. One time, Lou Handler
told me: Memories are better than
dreams' — and I never forgot that" El
