Early Silent Films from Camp Hy-Lake Found

Sometime around 1930, Jonas Coverdale founded a boys camp in Tennessee he named Camp Hy-Lake.  Jonas was, at that time, head of the Junior School, Castle Heights Military Academy.

For forty years thousands of campers worked, played and created memories.  There were a dozen or more guys from almost every large and medium size city in the south, and many of them became leaders in business and government.  New Bridge Bio Films is restoring the early films and digitizing many thousands of photographs that tell their stories.  Stay tuned!
