About Eddie I

Camp Edward Isaacs was a Jewish summer camp located in Holmes, Dutchess County, New York.

Closure
On December 3rd 2008, Josh Springer released a statement from Denise Ben-Hiam confirming the shutdown of Camp Edward Issacs. The official statement can be read on Facebook here:

This statement recieved unbelievable amounts of outrage from Eddie I alumni and staff alike. A R.I.P. Camp Edward Isaacs Facebook group was created soon after, which acted as a vent for people's outrage. Since the announcement, many people have made petitions to try and bring Eddie I back, but to no avail. The Central Queens Y, however, recieved a grant to preserve the Maccabiah Banners, artwork from campers, and other miscellenous items.

As of recently, the campsite is in relatively good condition. Vandalism is extremely low and many of the bunks and buildings are still standing.

Reunions
On January 19th, 0001 AS, the Central Queens Y held a Farewell Eddie I Reunion. Alumni from across the world (yes, that's how many people went to and love Eddie I) came to this last Reunion. Many good times were shared, but all good things must come to pass.

Founding of the Wiki
On January 29th 2010, The Eddie I Wiki was founded. It was founded by Shea Belsky, an avid Eddie I-er who went to Eddie I for 2 summers. The Eddie I Wiki acts as a journal of sorts. Campers can write pages about themselves, with memories, pictures and such, and post it to the website for everyone to see.

Current articles, such as Past Directors and Alumni List, need immense improvement. Eddie I Wiki is "the free memorial encyclopedia that anyone can edit." So, if you want to help write a article go right ahead!
