Camp Cabbosee

Ralf

I had two fantastic summers in 1976 and in 1978 at Camp Cobbossee. I will never forget these two summers and I have encouraged several of my friends - both women and men, to go to Camp America. I do hope I will return to Camp Cobbossee one day and see how the Camp looks like to day. I have some of the best memories of my life during these two summers.

With the upcoming August 21, 2017 solar eclipse, we at Cobbossee experienced a total solar eclipse on July 20th, 1963. The path of 100% totality passed through Bangor. They herded us into the mess hall and hung blackout shades so that we wouldn’t come home with incinerated retinas. But we could peek and see what was going on. Went from brilliant sunlight to midnight black than back to daylight again. Unforgettable.

My greatest camp memories revolve around my athletic developments over the 7 years that I attend Camp Cobbossee. Each summer the talented counselors extended my abilities. I vividly remember the first time I threw a curve ball, water-skied barefoot and hit my first bullseye with a bow and arrow. While not my proudest moment, I was on the losing color war team my first six years at camp. Being on the winning team for my seventh and final year at the camp was the perfect ending to a campers career. Looking back on the late nights by the camp fire, gathering wood for the rope burn or playing a late night basketball game under the lights are memories that will never be forgotten. While I will envy them, I’m eagerly looking forward to sending my boys to Cobbossee when they are old enough. Nun way! Jonathan
