Heck yeah

I went to camp Roosevelt from 72 to 78. I recognize so many of the people in this photo montage (not just the owners/managers). If you know me, please reach out!

wow I was there in 1973 - I remember a swim instructor named Stanley - almost drowned me!

Seeing myself in Brigadoon was amazing! Bobby Wolkowitz became an actor at Roosevelt. Then he became Robert Walden, nominated for 3 Emmys as Joe Rossi in LOU GRANT, '77-'1982.

My mother Joann Barry was in one of the photos

thanks for the post. We used to vacation at the Colonial Inn every August in the mid to late '70's. Every year I would hook up with the same kids and we would have a blast. most of us were from New York and we would go from motel to motel and pool hop, and at night we would hang out on top of the tower that was adjacent to the motel. it had this spiral stairway to the top. we would just sit up there and tell stories all night. all the motels in Sunny Isles are gone, replaced by humongous condos. The area has absolutely no character at all. The Thunderbird and a few others are still hanging tough but are on borrowed time. Sad.

Love the campscapes! Thanks for posting!

I had such a great time in 1987 came over from the uk to teach sailing and windsurfing!!

Hi, My husband and I got to Miami Beach in 1990 and 1992 and we were at the Colonial Inn, so, last year when we went there, my husband enjoyed to show this motel to our sons and was very disapointed to see that all the north of Miami Beach was so diferent as 20 years ago. Maybe you have some pictures or videos from the Colonial as it. If yes, do you have a posibility to send me almost 1, because I don't find anything about it since we moved from Switzerland to Spain for 6 years ago? Thank you.

Oh my g-d.... loving! Bonnie you rock so hard :) -laurie Ildau Is there any way we can get a camp shirt? like old school?

I went in 73 and 74, it was miserable at first (I was 8/9) and it was the first time I was away from home. But, it was also one of the few happiest times/things of my childhood. I learned to swim, I had my first girl friend (and my first kiss), I got active in sports, Blue Grey war was always too short, I heard my first gun shot (a starter pistol for races) in an enclosed cabin, lol, etc. When it was time to leave, I didn't want the summer to end. I'll always think fondly of Camp Roosevelt.
