| History: The Girl Scouts of Rockland County have been camping since the summer of 1942. First they camped at Mr. A.C. Clegg's estate in Sloatsburg. As camping gained popularity, districts throughout the council developed their own day camp programs at different sites including Camp Tan-Kee Grace in Blauvelt. This site was a gift from Dr. Addisone Boyce and Miss Grace Bullowa for Girls in the Central and Hudson districts. As the Girl Scouts of Rockland County searched for a camp, Dr. Addisone Boyce inspected every site the camp committee proposed. The council agreed to purchase and develop a property of 260 acres, three feeder streams, hiking trails and the possibility of a lake. The site was dedicated on July 4, 1951 and named Camp Addisone Boyce in honor of the woman whose commitment made it all possible. |
