Abandoned Camp Sunrise (photo heavy)

Recently Pat and I went on a little adventure to an abandoned resort. Camp Sunrise was a HUGE summer camp located in Connecticut. There are cabins, mess halls, a pool, all abandoned and slowly rotting due to weather, animals and trouble makers.

 This place calls to mind memories of my childhood; of summers spent swimming, campfires, eating popsicles and sleeping in a tent. This sweet nostalgia was jumbled with feelings of sadness which forced me to walk lightly in this deserted place.

The place was enormous. Every door and window were busted open or smashed. People must be squatting here and I kept looking over my shoulder for signs but I never saw or heard anybody.

I think when Camp Sunrise closed the staff had full intention of reopening. Everything was still there including theater props, beds, stoves, tables and chairs. All the rooms still had the furniture but slowly things are being trashed.

Pat and I kept saying if we had a million dollars we would totally buy the place. It was a gorgeous spot and I was very sad to see it in such shambles.

Are there any strange abandoned places near your home? Any you would recommend? Thanks for looking. Love, Ms. Kate.
