My revolutionary 70s summer camp

Available for over a year

Jim LeBrecht experienced four blissful and free summers during the 1970s at Camp Jened. This was a progressive camp for disabled teenagers in the Catskill mountains of upstate New York that was filled with music, love and parties. It was a radical break from the way many of the kids there had been treated in the past and for many of the campers, including Jim, it transformed the way they approached their adult lives. Jim went on to become a sound recordist in California and has co-directed the Netflix film called Crip Camp about his happy memories there. A longer version of this interview was first broadcast in April 2020. Produced and presented by Emily Webb Get in touch: [email protected] (Photo: Camp Jened, Steve Honigsbaum. Credit: Netflix)
