Camp Integrity Vacation Wonderland for Boys & Girls

One of the finest benefits offered by the Educational and Cultural Trust Fund of the Electrical Industry is Camp Integrity. In 1971 our Trustees, recognizing the important contribution a camp can make in the growth and development of your children, built Camp Integrity on the shores of Southampton, Long Island. This year we are pleased to offer Camp Integrity at our new location in Burlingham, N.Y., near Middletown, New York.

Since that first summer in 1972, over 18,081 children have enjoyed an educational program, while experiencing the spirit of adventure in surroundings that are maintained with safety in mind. Learning new skills, developing leadership, gaining a greater sense of responsibility and improving their self images are some of the goals of the Camp Integrity Staff.

While the children may at first find themselves surrounded by strangers, they also find that in camp life many of the campers quickly become life-long friends. The fact that all worthwhile relationships are based on faith and mutual respect assists the child to quickly become accustomed to the new surroundings.

The Officers of Local Union No. 3, I.B.E.W. and the Trustees of the Educational and Cultural Trust Fund of the Electrical Industry maintain a high level of interest and supervision in the program and the facilities of the camp. Improvements are constantly being implemented.

HEALTH & SAFETY Each year the camp passes several inspections by the Health Department. Every effort is made to provide a healthy and safe surrounding. As a mutual precaution, each camper will have had a medical examination and medical history taken prior to arrival at camp. This must be sent to Camp Integrity at least 10 days before the campers arrival.
