Norman, nice site! I am an old Ro-Li camper and also worked there on staff when I was a teen. My father and grandfather were members of the Belleville Rotary and Lions and were very active in creating and promoting the camp (1940' 50's). I have lots of photos, movies, and good stories about those days. Also lots of other Belleville memorabilia and have been looking for a place to "bequeath" it all since I am 70 yrs. old. Also trying to remember our old Plymouth 9 phone number since I am still using the phone I used to make my first date in 1953 with Judy Catino. Any phone books from that time still around?

Hi Norman, I was a camper in65, 66, 67- my brother Mitch Wainer was a counselor, as well as my cousin George Wainer and his sister Debbie. Loved the hikes to the reservoir, doctors cabin sleep outs or top of the mountain across the lake. I also remember the trading post after dinner, and the cookouts on Wednesdays when the cook had a day off! I have a few cabin pictures and will post them. Do you remember Pete and Arlene Sencivickie the directors? How about swimming to the lighthouse point in glen wild lake?

I was a camper in the 50's!! Not sure exactly which years, but the weeks spent at Camp Ro-Li are etched in my memory as some of the happiest and most carefree days of my childhood. I especially remember the campsongs we sang. I wish I had pictures from camp, but for now I am enjoying the ones posted on the site. Thank you so much for the memories!

I remember evening activities after dinner- capture the flag, counselor hunts, treasure hunts .
Every Wednesday night camp outs- the Doctor's Cabin, across the lake, Indian Village.

Two summers, 1966,1967 I was a counselor at Ro-li. So many memories I wouldn't know where to begin.
I would like hear from others about their times at Ro-li.

Hello! I was a camper at Ro-Li in 1961 and 1962 , I think, and then a member of the Ro-Li staff for the summers of 1967,1968, and 1969. It was a wonderful place, I made many good friends and have a canoe full of good memories. In 1969 I taught beginning swimming, which about two years later lead me to chose education as my major. After 39 nine years as a science educator, I can't imagine another profession that I could have loved more

I was a camper in 1961 and 1962, and A staff member in 1967,1968 and 1969. It was a great place I made many friends and had a safe haven from life in Newark, NJ. Ultimately, the time I spent teaching beginners to swim in 1969 lead to my choice of career as a science educator.
