Spending the summer at Camp Arey

By Jonathan Monfiletto

These days, you could still spend the summer along Keuka Lake at Camp Arey – just as youngsters could for nearly four decades from about the turn of the 20th century until the outbreak of World War II. However, with all due respect to the owners and residents of what is nowadays a seasonal vacation community, these summer homes on the lake seem a far cry from the natural science camp of yesteryear.

The Yates County History Center recently heard from a descendant of Dr. Albert Arey, who started the natural science camp. I knew the name of the camp and that it had been a summer camp for boys and girls, but that was about all I knew. I didn’t even know where the camp was located, except that it had been on Keuka Lake. Naturally, for those who know me or at least know my writing, this communication led me to research Camp Arey and learn more about it.

The first thing I learned is Arey, described in our sources as a Rochester science teacher, initially established his camp on the west side of Canandaigua Lake at Tichenor Point – in the town of Canandaigua in Ontario County. A lover of the natural world, the professor started his camp in 1890 so his students would have a place to explore such fields as geology, botany, and taxidermy. As Allison Cooper wrote in a “Time and Again” column in the May 15, 2006 Daily Messenger, “So he leased the plot of land from the Tichenor family, his wife sewed two tents out of sturdy canvas and the Natural Science Camp was born.”

The Natural Science Camp, as it was called then, was set up like a military camp and considered the first of its kind in the United States featuring tent camping. “A bugle horn sounded the wake-up and bedtime calls and at meal time the boys marched two by two to the mess tent,” Cooper wrote. “Dinner was at noon and the campers snacked on barrels of ginger snaps and Smith Butter Crackers, which were made in Canandaigua. They consumed sixty gallons of milk per day.”

The first year, 40 boys showed up to the camp; 15 years later, when Camp Arey prepared to leave Canandaigua Lake and head to new quarters on Keuka Lake, 150 boys per season was the norm. They came from New York City, Albany, Pittsburgh, and Syracuse as well as locales around the Finger Lakes. Their average age was 18. As well as studying science, the boys formed a baseball team and played against teams around the area. They also swam, sailed, and rode horses.

In January 1905, Arey purchased Eggleston’s Point on Keuka Lake in Barrington from Cornwell Bros. through Goodspeed & Miller’s Real Estate Agency and planned to move the camp there. “It is expected that large and permanent buildings will be erected and this point become one of the liveliest places on the Lake,” the Yates County Chronicle asserted on January 25, 1905. On May 5, 1905, the Penn Yan Democrat proclaimed the camp’s new location to be an economic boon for Penn Yan and Yates County – with 150 campers likely making the total camp population 200 including the staff and providing people ready to spend money. A Canandaigua man estimated that area’s merchants’ loss at $30,000 per year when the camp left.

Each year, the camp was to run from July 1 through September 1 – essentially, from the time school let out until it opened again. In 1905, tuition and board for a full term cost $100; shorter periods cost $12 per week. An “athletic tax” of 25 cents per week was also levied on each camper to pay for the equipment and expenses related to the camp’s teams. “While the Science Camp is a big summer school, text books are not every much in evidence,” the Democrat described Camp Arey ahead of its opening. “Nature furnishes many interesting studies, and botany and entomology, geology, taxidermy, etc., are some of the things that will be taught. There will be a shop for electrical demonstrations. The athletic program will consist of track athletics, base ball, basket ball, swimming, boating, riding, and sailing. There will be a dark room for those interested in photography. A dramatic club will be organized the first week of the Camp, and the plan is to produce several plays during the season, and a minstrel show in July. … Large army tents are provided for sleeping quarters. They have wood floors raised from the ground, and a water-proof ‘fly.’ Each tent accommodates three pupils, and has an electric light.”

As the camp prepared to open on Keuka Lake, arrangements were in the works to have the camp’s baseball team play some of its games in Penn Yan. There was also talk of field trips from the camp to Niagara Falls, the Thousand Islands, and Watkins Glen. Visitors were welcome to the camp at any time, through the arrangement of the commandant. All of the coaches and instructors at the camp had college degrees, and some had served in the U.S. military.

Various sources point to the different reasons for Camp Arey’s change in location. More campers meant the camp needed a larger property. Indeed, the Democrat on July 4, 1906 announced the beginning of the camp’s first season on Keuka Lake with 275 boys and young men. At the same time, the Tichenor family’s price to purchase the Canandaigua Lake site was too high for Arey. Keuka Lake offered more land at a cheaper price.

Various sources also provide different dimensions for the camp’s property. An unidentified source states Arey organized the camp on Keuka Lake on 125 acres with 2,000 feet of lake frontage. An outline of Camp Arey’s history put its at 160 acres. Notes left behind by former Yates County Historian Frank Swann list the parcel at 140 acres. The Democrat in 1906 described buildings upon 165 acres of land – an assembly hall large enough to accommodate the entire camp, a 50-by-75 mess hall, an office building, a shop containing the electrical plant, a number of smaller buildings, and the farmhouse, barns, and carriage house.

Camp Arey even had its own post office, to serve the camp as well as locals during the summer season. Campers raised their own vegetables and supplied milk from their dairy. The property eventually expanded to 230 acres when Arey purchased more land for the camp. Though only boys were admitted in early seasons, later on girls were allowed at the camp; boys came for half of the season, and then girls came for the remainder.

Arey himself continued to run the camp until 1912, when he apparently accepted a position in the science department of a girls high school in Brooklyn at twice the salary of his position in Rochester. Moving his family to Brooklyn, Arey sold the camp to his son-in-law and daughter, Andrew and Mildred Fontaine, who operated the property as a girls camp until 1939. The Fontaines in turn sold Camp Arey to Mr. and Mrs. Robert Patin, of Cleveland, Ohio, who continued to oversee the girls camp for a few more years.

The World War II years put a strain on the camp, while living patterns and outlook changed. During the 1940s, the Rockefeller family purchased the property as an executive retreat but apparently kept the Camp Arey name. In the 1950s, there was an effort to make Camp Arey the site of a state park, as at that time there were only two state parks in the Finger Lakes at Taughannock Falls and Cayuga Lake. That effort, however, faced much opposition and failed to come to fruition.

You can still spend your summer at Camp Arey if you so wish. You just won’t be staying in a tent and studying the natural sciences as youngsters once did.

Leon Russell Au Naturel

When Les Blank’s A Poem is a Naked Person, his long-suppressed feature about Leon Russell, was finally exhumed some years back, I wrote about the film for the Night Flight web site. The story has since been scoured from the web. The film is airing Monday on TCM at the ungodly hour of 7:15 a.m. PT, as part of its Labor Day music movie marathon, so I decided to dig up my old piece and re-post it to supply some back story. It’s quite a picture, but it is not for the impatient or the squeamish. ********** Virtually unseen for more than 40 years, A Poem is a Naked Person, Les Blank’s portrait of Leon Russell, receives a formal Los Angeles premiere on July 8 with a screening at the Theatre at the Ace Hotel; a week of showings at Cinefamily, under the auspices of Allison and Tiffany Anders’ Don’t Knock the Rock Festival, commences on July 10. The reason for the picture’s long suppression is simple: Russell and his Shelter Records partner Denny Cordell commissioned Blank to make a promotional movie, and he gave them an art film, and not a flattering one at that. Therein lies a very interesting rub.

Some slightly convoluted back story is necessary. By 1972, when Blank was hired to create his portrait of the musician, guitarist-keyboardist-songwriter Russell had risen to a position of commercial eminence after years as one of L.A.’s top studio guns. Graduating from work in the house band of the weekly TV rock showcase Shindig! and record dates with such diverse clients as Phil Spector, the Byrds, and Herb Alpert, the Tulsa-born musician moved into the spotlight as musical director for Delaney and Bonnie Bramlett’s stomping R&B- and gospel-infused group and Joe Cocker’s huge, circus-like Mad Dogs & Englishmen unit.

Dubbed “The Master of Time and Space,” Russell began a fruitful label partnership with British producer Cordell with the inauguration of Shelter in 1970, a year before a high-profile appearance in the house band at George Harrison’s Concert For Bangla Desh. He bumped into the U.S. top 20 with his second solo album in 1971, but the 1972 LP Carney soared to No. 2 and spawned the No. 11 single “Tight Rope,” which was animated by Russell’s rolling keyboard work and rough yet affecting singing. The three-LP concert collection Leon Live would reach the top 10 and cement his position as a solo star in 1973.

Russell and Cordell doubtlessly envisioned a conventional feature surveying the musician’s stage show and sessions for a forthcoming country album when, on the recommendation of the American Film Institute, they commissioned Blank. By then active in Northern California for a dozen years, the director had made his rep with earthy short features about a pair of Texas musicians, bluesman Lightnin’ Hopkins (The Blues According to Lightnin’ Hopkins, 1968) and songster Mance Lipscomb (A Well Spent Life, 1971).

For nearly two years, Blank and his collaborator Maureen Gosling set up shop at Russell’s home and studio complex on a lake outside Tulsa, where they filmed the performer at work and play, and also cut their footage of Louisiana zydeco musicians Clifton Chenier and Boisec Ardoin into the pungent short films Hot Pepper and Dry Wood. The filmmakers humped their gear to gigs in Anaheim, New Orleans, and Austin, and to studio rehearsals at Bradley’s Barn in Nashville for the album Hank Wilson’s Back, the sincere and soulful 1973 country project that bewildered his core fans, essentially marking the end of Russell’s tenure as a top-flight rock attraction.

After an abortive attempt to screen A Poem is a Naked Person at the 1974 Cannes Film Festival – the print wasn’t ready – Russell and Cordell basically put the feature on semi-permanent ice, allowing it to be screened only by permission, with Blank in attendance. It remained an elusive commodity until the director’s death in 2013. At the urging of Blank’s son Harrod, Russell reconsidered the matter of its availability; a screening at this year’s South By Southwest Film Festival prefaced a national theatrical release, and a DVD from the Criterion Collection, distributor Janus Films’ home video line, is anticipated.

Russell has long been mum about his reasons for keeping the picture out of circulation; queried in recent interviews, he has glibly replied, “I don’t know,” or “I don’t remember.” But it seems obvious that the producers’ intentions and the filmmakers’ execution were widely divergent. If Russell and Cordell thought they were going to get a puffy documentary that would push their product, they were sorely disappointed.

A Poem is a Naked Person bears a striking resemblance, in style if not entirely in content, to a pair of quite radical contemporaneous films. The most obvious analog is Cocksucker Blues, Swiss-born photographer and indie filmmaker Robert Frank’s notorious backstage look at the Rolling Stones’ 1972 U.S. tour; a jumpy saturnalia of sexual escapades, heroin abuse, and hotel-room boredom, with occasional concert footage, it scandalized the band, who have enforced restrictions similar to those imposed on Blank’s movie upon its exhibition. Photographer William Eggleston’s long-gestating Stranded in Canton, which features pianist Jim Dickinson and musician/bank robber Jerry McGill among its cast of Memphis and New Orleans weirdoes and eccentrics, was shot on portable video equipment ca. 1973 and finally cut into something resembling finished form by Bluff City writer-documentarian Robert Gordon in 2005. It’s an incandescent rebel depiction of life on the distant fringes of art and music.

Frank’s and Eggleston’s highly personalized, jaggedly edited, impressionistic features, brimming with often appalling extra-musical incident, don’t fit the description of what we’ve come to call “music documentaries,” and neither do Blank’s pictures. The best-known films the director made before his encounter with Russell, though they boast musicians (Hopkins and Lipscomb) as their central figures, likewise operate well beyond the parameters of conventional music docs. Though there is a good deal of music-making and ass-shaking in them, they are at heart about the communities in which the music was made, with their indigenous landscapes, customs, cuisines, and spiritual concerns. An observer of folklife at heart, Blank was an unlikely, even incongruous, candidate to make a movie about a rock star – essentially, an industrial film for music consumers.

Like the subjects of Blank’s earlier films, Russell is witnessed at home a good deal, and the director slathers his film with super-saturated images of local color shot in and around the musician’s Oklahoma base – a pow-wow of the Tulsa Indian Club, a tractor pull, a holiday parade, a literal wild-goose chase, the implosion demolition of Tulsa’s ancient (and perfectly named) Bliss Hotel. But Russell – prematurely gray, long-haired and bearded, always bearing a glazed, slightly stoned mien -- appears before us as a man without a country, almost an alien, dislocated from his roots, ferried to his far-flung gigs in long limousines as black as hearses.

As a protagonist, Russell most resembles the central figure in a later Blank production, 1982’s Burden of Dreams. That unsettling feature follows the chaotic production of German director Werner Herzog’s film Fitzcarraldo in the heart of the Peruvian Amazon. The reckless and megalomaniacal filmmaker is seen slowly coming apart as, cut off entirely from civilization, he single-mindedly pursues his quixotic and extremely hazardous project, which entails the climactic hauling of a 20-ton boat up a steep incline; by the film’s end, Herzog appears as mad as the lunatic hero of his saga, who longs to build an opera house for Enrico Caruso in the middle of the jungle. Though Russell is never depicted in extremis, as Herzog is, Blank implies that, unlike the Southern musicians the director depicts so affectionately and respectfully, the Oklahoman is like Herzog also a man who has drifted too far from his native shore.

Music plainly is what brings Russell alive; it is at the heart of A Poem is a Naked Person, and it is often splendid, a saving grace. There are lovely cameos by George Jones (playing “Take Me” solo in Russell’s home studio) and Willie Nelson (essaying “Good Hearted Woman” at a gig in Austin, and accompanying fiddler “Sweet” Mary Egan on “Orange Blossom Special”). Several truncated yet forceful performances by Russell’s road band – augmented by a gospel-styled quartet, Blackgrass, led by Rev. Patrick Henderson – are on view. In one simple yet eloquent sequence, Russell’s deeply felt cover of Hank Williams’ “I’m So Lonesome I Could Cry” plays under footage of clouds drifting across the face of the moon, as they do in Williams’ lyrics; it’s obvious, but nonetheless affecting.

One of the bleaker streaks in the film can be found in some of the sequences shot during the sessions for Hank Wilson’s Back in Nashville. These scenes are not totally bereft of a certain joy: Russell takes obvious delight in the expertise of his A-Team accompanists. One delicious scene finds him in an awed duet with Charlie McCoy, a secret hero of Bob Dylan’s Nashville-based albums from Blonde On Blonde to Self Portrait; the bespectacled McCoy looks like an accountant on his way to a tee time, and he plays and sings his ass off. But some of the other Music City studio gunslingers’ envy of and contempt for their contractor – like themselves a session guy, but one who has hit the jackpot – is scarcely concealed. Hotshot pianist David Briggs – whose obscene rendition of the Beatles’ “Lady Madonna” was expurgated in later prints of the film at Russell’s insistence – says at one juncture, in a blatant dig at his session boss, “I’m the guy they call when you can’t do your own fucking piano work.”

There is also an ugly confrontation in the Nashville studio with folk singer-songwriter Eric Andersen, who was apparently barred from entering the facility for his own session by Russell’s security staff. Russell belittles and insults Andersen with an arrogant rocker’s noblesse oblige, drily telling him, “You write some very beautiful goddamn songs,” which prompts the reply, “You’re jiving.” For his part, Andersen voices skepticism about the legitimacy of Russell’s onstage thunder: “I couldn’t tell if you’re a revivalist man, trying to put something over, where it was coming from.” You find yourself asking if Blank may not harbor the same doubt.

Blank ladles further darkness, grotesquerie, and bile over the proceedings throughout. Using non-linear, densely layering techniques pioneered in the ‘60s by French New Wave director Jean-Luc Godard – whose ironic quote, “The day of the director is dead,” is seen on the film’s concluding title card, below Blank’s credit – the filmmaker atomizes the action, or comments on it, using a vocabulary of startling jump cuts, head-spinning juxtapositions, and dialog rendered as on-screen legends (“GET THOSE GOD DAMN CAMERAS OFF US”).

Thus, in one extraordinary sequence, footage of a wasted concertgoer being ejected from one of Russell’s gigs is intercut with shocking shots of a boa constrictor killing and devouring a baby chick. (The snake is the “pet” of artist Jim Franklin, who is seen elsewhere adorning the bottom of Russell’s swimming pool, after coolly collecting scorpions off its walls.) In another scene, a snippet of fiddler Johnny Gimble improvising a lively solo in the studio is abruptly interrupted by the screaming freakout of a bare-chested young man on a very bad acid trip in an unidentified hotel room.

Blank seems to imply that for all the tambourine shaking and Chautauqua-tent fervor of his sound, Russell makes music that only mimes the spiritual core of its sources. Nowhere is this more apparent than in a ragged jump cut from minister-musician Henderson playing at a Pentecostal church service to his group Blackgrass rocking the praise at one of Russell’s shows. The first performance, Blank suggests, is about true religion of the most devout order – the real thing, as it were -- while the second is no more than entertainment.

In the end, Blank says without a flinch, this music is about the dollars. At one point he trains his camera on a teenage hitchhiker outside one of Russell’s shows; with a guitar slung on his back and a cardboard sign reading, “Oklahoma City” in his hand, the deluded kid says, “I wanna make it in Hollywood like Leon does – make a million dollars playin’ gee-tah.” The most damning exchange in the entire picture comes when an acquaintance poses a question to Russell after his performance at a friend’s wedding. Russell repeats the question – “If I didn’t get paid for singing, wouldn’t I sing?” – and leaves it hanging in the air, unanswered.

One can easily understand why Russell and Cordell were mortified, even horrified, by Blank’s film and sat on it for four decades. A Poem is a Naked Person used the language of cinema to subvert the film’s intended purpose as a self-glorifying sales tool. Instead, it ended up being a probing and dialectical work that used Russell’s music much as Godard himself employed the Rolling Stones’ music (far less effectively or coherently) in his Sympathy For the Devil. As it often has over the course of time, great art – and Blank’s movie definitely qualifies as such – operates at cross-purposes to a patron’s wishes.
