I am fairly sure the author had been a camper at the Ethical Culture Camp, which was further north, on the eastern side of Lake Otsego. Having been a camper & counselor at Camp Otsego (sister camp of Camp Chenango), in the 1950s and early 1960s, I found the book and the experiences described, to be quite familiar. How fortunate we all were to have been able to spend two idyllic summer months, living on the shores of Lake Otsego. Our camp friendships continue to this day.
