Summer 2010
This Web site, which was originally constructed in December 2004, provides a description of the camp's grounds as they exist today. The photographs that are shown were taken by Ralph Perry, Jr. The fall pictures were taken in late October 2003, and in early February 2004 Ralph ventured out on a cold but sunny day to capture the grounds under snow that drifted up to 24 inches in depth.
This summer and fall, from 6 July to shortly before Thanksgiving, the Main House will undergo an extensive renovation to put it back into good condition. The building will be temporarily moved to allow for a new and improved foundation and then put back in place for the completion of the renovation.
With the building unavailable for use this season, the park will operate using temporary facilities. If all goes as planned, the renovated building will be open for use for the 2011 season.
With 2012 being the 100th anniversary of the camp's move to its final site, which is now the park, we expect to celebrate the occasion that summer with a reunion at the park. We hope that many of you will look forward to participating and seeing a Main House that lives on in very good condition.
We look forward to hearing from you at the contact information provided. We also provide some links to other Web sites that might be of interest. Kamp Kill Kare was a summer camp for boys that was located on the shores of Lake Champlain in St. Albans Bay, Vermont. The camp operated for 61 years, from 1906 to 1966. The camp's grounds are now a state park.
The objective of this Web site is to help interested alumni reestablish contact with other members of the Kill Kare family.
