Welcome to Bungalow Colony People! Not much happens here but with any luck, you'll be able to connect with some old friends, enjoy some Bungalow Colony conversations/threads (there's definitely at least one about Valley View, and hopefully share some of your Bungalow Colony, Catskills memories - and maybe even a few photos and/or videos with everyone.

Bungalow Colony People is a personal project of mine that I started to help preserve a bit of the Catskills bungalow colony experience that I and so many others enjoyed years ago. My family and I went to Sunny Croft in Highland Mills (near Monroe) from '68 - '74.

Thanks for taking the pop membership quiz, it helps me weed out spammers who try to join the community - so far, only one has gotten through over the years and was quickly booted out.

The site is a bit funky as I'm running the very first version of the Ning platform from 2008, so it's quite outdated from a tech perspective, but since I'm self-funding this community site, I've wanted to avoid the much higher monthly fees that an upgrade would incur.

I hope you make some connections, find some interesting stories and maybe share a few of your own!

Best,

Manny Kivowitz
