Googling Pinsly

There isn't much about Pinsly on the web. This is all I've found:
Hudson Valley Ruins - describes Pinsly, the castle, and the 6th-8th grade bunks (I think). It lists 1996 for the demolition of the castle, and 1986 as the last use of the camp. Some of these photos are Pinsly, I think.
Westchester Government - recent record of the property.
JCC on the Hudson - lists Pinsly as its original camp in the 1960's.

Where's Pinsly

Pinsly was very close to Lyndhurst estate. Here is a map of the grounds of the estate. I don't remember exactly where Pinsly was with respect to this. It seems the "castle", which hosted the bunks for 3rd through 6th graders while I was there (as well as drama with Fran and nature with Alby), was demolished in 1996.

Pinsly Tribute

I attended Pinsly Day Camp from 1974 through 1980. I loved my summers there. Here's a tribute to Pinsly!
