For many
years, the Union Carbide Corporation in South Charleston, West Virginia,
operated summer camps for children of employees. Camp Cliffside, near the
Coal River, and Camps Camelot and Carlisle in the forest near Blue Creek
offered a wide variety of sports, crafts, learning and fun activities.
Each summer, hundreds of "Carbide kids" spent two weeks at camp during
their pre-teen and teenage years. I built this site for the memories and
in hopes that other alumni would like to remember and appreciate all over
again those valuable summers! For example, I discovered that the son of
a special friend from the South Charleston school days also built a site
specializing in Carbide camps. He and I share stories and materials, and
memories. Randy Rice's site is undergoing a rebuild right now, and may
be unavailable for a while. Share
your
memories by sending pictures
for posting and by placing entries in the guestbook, below.
Check out Carbide Camps on Facebook and YouTube also! - Robert
