Request for Saving Camp Santanoni Stories
Adirondack Architectural Heritage
Requester: Wilkes Jordan
Deadline: No Deadline
Tell your story

We are collecting stories and testimonies about your experiences at Great Camp Santanoni! The Adirondack Architectural Heritage is collaborating with Our Story Bridge, a nonprofit organization dedicated to creating community resources and websites that focus on sharing audio stories. We are looking for participants to share short-form stories about the efforts that were made to save Great Camp Santanoni from demolition, following its transfer to the state in 1973.

These stories may be edited, published and shared.

Tell your story
Tips for telling a great story
  • Tell your story as if you were talking to a friend or a relative. Make it personal.
  • Add photos! It is best if the first photo you add is a nice image of yourself so that people can see you as they listen to or read your story.
Tips for audio recording
  • You can re-record as many times as you want. Take a couple of practice runs until it feels more natural talking into your computer.
  • Try not to use a pre-written script so that your story sounds as natural as possible. It is ok if it is not perfect.
  • Try to speak as clearly as possible, and get as close to the microphone as you can.
  • Try to find a quiet place with no background noise. It is even better if the room has carpet. This will reduce the amount of echo on the recording.
