I remember a music competition in the auditorium (maybe it was during color war) where we had to come up with songs containing certain words and the team that got the most won.

There was a basketball court behind the castle.

Archery was behind the 7th/8th grade bunks up on the hill.

Aerial Pinsly

This used to be Pinsly. You can see the senior camp pool and the junior camp pool. No sign of the castle, except for what looks like the basketball court. A bit of green where the big field was, and an open area where junior camp was.

anyone remember the lyrics for color war songs?

In 1997, the JCC was still trying to reinstate Pinsly as a camp, at least...
