Every once in a while, we find a piece of Camp Fuller memorabilia that really resonates.

A big “Thank You” to our subscribers who have supported the Camp Fuller Archive Project since we launched in October, 2020. From the beginning, our goal was to bring you back to Camp Fuller with old photos, stories, songs, folklore and the shared memories of our time at this wonderful place on Point Judith Pond.

Camp Fuller means so many things for all of us. Memories are conjured up through looking at old photos, talking with old camp friends, or perhaps hearing a song or eating a Pop Tart.

Charlie Hanscomb was synonymous with Camp Fuller in the 1940’s and 1950’s. During his time at Fuller, he brought a sense of compassion, spirit and respect for Native Americans.

What better way to spend part of your summer than by going back to re-live some of your memories with your family and friends. Spend a few nights in your old Sherman cabin with your kids or grandkids. Jump in the salt water, go for a sail, make a lanyard, shoot some hoops up on the Hill, or just read a book on the swimming beach. Run the road, kayak out to the island, fly a kite and roast marshmallows on an open fire. Sing some of your old favorites and teach them to the next generation while telling camp stories and enjoying the fresh salt air that surrounds Fuller.
