History
Camp Scatico has been in operation since 1921. It was founded by Nat Holman of the Original Celtics. Holman sold the camp to his niece Ruth (1922–2011) and her husband Irwin “Flick” Fleischner (1922–2004) in 1964, and the camp is currently owned and operated by their son David Fleischner and his wife Diana Wallerstein. It is the site where Camp MTV was taped, which aired Sunday, July 30, 1989.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“Books of natural history aim commonly to be hasty schedules, or inventories of God’s property, by some clerk. They do not in the least teach the divine view of nature, but the popular view, or rather the popular method of studying nature, and make haste to conduct the persevering pupil only into that dilemma where the professors always dwell.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“There is a history in all men’s lives,
Figuring the natures of the times deceased,
The which observed, a man may prophesy,
With a near aim, of the main chance of things
As yet not come to life.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“American time has stretched around the world. It has become the dominant tempo of modern history, especially of the history of Europe.”
—Harold Rosenberg (1906–1978)
