Every year Mr. Roberts a principle and science teacher at Newark Highschool organized a spring break dive trip to the IFS camp for about 18 kids. I was fortunate enough to make that trip twice in 1975 and 76. Just as mentioned in an earlier review it was a trip of a life time. Here it is almost 50 years later and I am thrilled to see the program is still thriving.
As stated back then there was the lodge but the best place to stay was the beach camp in tents and I remember the adults saying we needed the hurry to make sure we got there first to claim the beach! There was an old school house at the beach site, hope it is still there, with a large two sided double hole outhouse. The lodge had generator electricity a couple of hours a night but the beach site did not. Limited fresh water so the only bath that week was a swim in a fresh water blue hole, no soap allowed.
I met my first boyfriend, and a best friend on this trip and developed a life long love of water based camping, so much so that I retired to an island.
Thank you IFS for providing this opportunity.
If I can find find my pictures I will post of the school house. – via
