Camp Manison
Ahh! The memories! Camp Manison was located in Friendswood, Texas (final location.) It was the summer home to many people from around the world. This is a site dedicated to it's memory. Everyone who came to Camp Manison became part of the family. "Uncle Tom" Manison started the camp in another location in 1947. He later moved to a larger location in Friendswood, Texas. Tom met Robin and married shortly after that. Together they ran "the fun place" for many years. As the land in Friendswood got more valuable (town was closing in around us! There were times the horses got out and were in the Burger King parking lot ... or worse, in peoples yards!) it became more difficult to operate the camp. It was a sad day when it finally closed. :-(
Both Tom and Robin have moved on now. I am sure they are watching down on all of their extended Camp Manison family. Tom and Robin were like a second family to me and I miss them dearly. I'm not sure where all this site will go, I just decided to do it one night when I was reading some facebook postings. I see the site as a memory book ... if you have photo's, old Targets, video, etc. you would like to share, please go to the contact form or email me at danny_sparks@yahoo.com
The site has been here awhile now and continues to grow (through my finding "new treasures" when I dig through one of the MANY boxes I have still in storage from when I lived in Houston, to people finding pictures and sending them to me.) Spend a little time looking through the MANY pages and sub pages. No telling what you will find! I am always looking for new things to add, so if you have an idea, let me know!
We'll see where this journey takes us ...
