The enormously popular Humans of New York Facebook page tells stories of thousands of people (all anonymous) from all over the world — with just a photo and a caption. With more than 12 million fans of the page, each day we are treated to a glimpse into someone’s life. Today, a woman was quoted about her fond memories of a Maine summer camp so long ago.

In this brief Q&A with the photographer, Brandon Stanton, she said: “Back in the 1930s, I used to go to summer camp in Maine. Those were the happiest days of my life. There was a great freedom. I rode horseback, walked in the woods, went swimming, made new friends.”

He then asked, “What was your happiest moment at camp?”

“One time I won a tennis match and got 50 points for my team. The whole camp was divided into two teams: Green and Tan. And we competed all summer long to see which team could get the most points. And 50 points was a really big deal! To give some perspective — you’d only get 10 points for riding on the gunnel of a canoe.”

This little vignette made us want to ask our readers: What are some of your fondest memories of summer camp in Maine?
