Inthe mid 70's I was a camp counselor at an Easter Seal camp in Eastern Pa. I spent a lot of time there with wards of Pennhurst. Some of those campers were so far gone they could not have known they were even in a camp.The good folks at Pennhurst just sent them away so they would not have to deal with them for a couple of weeks. I remember one camper who would ask me the same question whenever I would move him to one activity or another, "Are you gonna cornhole me?"
These are the first pictures I've seen of Pennhurst. They match the impression I always had in my mind.
