Camp Curry was founded in 1899 by boisterous David Curry and his wife, Jennie. Walk back in time through historical photos and footage of Yosemite and Camp Curry where, for $2 a day or $12 a week, you could get a bed, three square meals a day, and a clean napkin with every meal.
Bear feeding stations, the historic firefall, and a hair-raising toboggan run are just a few examples of how attitudes have changed about how people recreate in our National Parks. Interviews and historic photos will help you relive those days and understand the changes.
Camp Curry Memories utilizes colorful interviews from longtime visitors, camp employees and park rangers. Vintage music illustrated with archival images are woven into an unforgettable video.
