I remember Mom who was the cook coming out with a meat cleaver. then later there was a lady who lived just down the road as a cook and she brought both her daughters to help her. I spent a year as the wrangler and still have a imprint in my thigh in the shape of a horseshoe to remember it by !

I went for maybe 4 summers by myself then with 2 best friends. 14 years later my son attended for 2 summers and they, too, were some of the best experiences of his life! How sad that it has virtually "disappeared". I go by Versailles on my way to the Lake and sometimes dream of searching it out and exploring what's left. The "raggers" candle ceremony impressed upon my life the "I'm Third" philosophy. Does anyone else remember that? The mess hall, the bonfires, the cabins...I wish I could find something even close to Camp Gravois for my grandkids. Would love to reminisce with anyone else nostalgic about this camp.

Yes! The greatest summer week of my life. I went the summer after 3rd grade..about 1981. I live in Hawaii now but was searching for it because they have no good old American summer camp here in Hawaii for my kids and was so sad to see it had gone away. I wish there was an alumni site for that camp. Chris Camp Gravois!! Yes! The greatest summer week of my life. I went the summer after 3rd grade..about 1981.
