A new site visitor, Barry Conner <consultmac (AT) gmail.com> would like to find any information on 
Carbide's "Timberland", and on a series of movies produced by Carbide, perhaps called "21st Century". 
Hope someone can help him.  Thanks!

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 will be combined with this site soon. 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 W. Lilley
