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:
“Let us not underrate the value of a fact; it will one day flower in a truth. It is astonishing how few facts of importance are added in a century to the natural history of any animal. The natural history of man himself is still being gradually written.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“We don’t know when our name came into being or how some distant ancestor acquired it. We don’t understand our name at all, we don’t know its history and yet we bear it with exalted fidelity, we merge with it, we like it, we are ridiculously proud of it as if we had thought it up ourselves in a moment of brilliant inspiration.”
—Milan Kundera (b. 1929)
“A great proportion of the inhabitants of the Cape are always thus abroad about their teaming on some ocean highway or other, and the history of one of their ordinary trips would cast the Argonautic expedition into the shade.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
