YMCA Boys Camp Cloudcroft, New Mexico (camps, skyline, photographs)

[Jim Schroeder]

My father was stationed at Ft. Bliss, Texas from 1950 to 1953. In 1951 or 1952, I attended the El Paso YMCA Boys Camp near Cloudcroft, NM. The YMCA had a program where boys could sell bags of shelled peanuts (50 cents for a large bag) and earn their way to the camp. I did this and earned my way. The camp may have been called Skyline Ranch Boys Camp.


I'm looking for information on the camp and perhaps photographs or others who may have earned their way with this program.

rwjoyak,


Earlier, I saw the information on the link you provided. Thanks. I want to find someone who attended the camp at about the same time. At the camp, we learned some songs which I've never heard since. I can recall all of the lyrics to one song but only a few from the other.

Correction on the dates at Ft. Bliss. It was 1953 to 1956.
