Camper and Counsellor
Camp Comet
(Privately Held; 201-500 employees; Sports industry)
June 1974 — August 1987 (13 years 3 months)
I attended Camp Comet and Camp Comet Trails from 1974 until its closure in 1987. Camp Comet was a Space Age camp owned and operated by Morgan Levy, Harry Pure, Isabelle Rosenberg and Shirly Shor nestled in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Pennsylvania. Located in Waynesboro, PA, the camp offered boys the freedom to grow and mature in a safe and secure environment. Camp Comet offered thousands of children during its 25+ years of operation, opportunities to better themselves in sports, the arts and in science. Happy Little Birdie and Space Age Arriving were perennially favorite songs of campers and counsellors alike. Camps Comet and Comet Trails were the brother camp for Camp Wohelo, established in 1928, by Bertha Levy.
