In 1952 Abe and Eve Crittenden envisioned another way to share the magical place that is Plantation and they transformed it into a farm summer camp for children. The vision that they had of a place where people could come together, live in peace with each other and nature, while having fun continues to live on. They passed control of camp to their nephew, David, and his wife Ginny Crittenden, who ran camp in the 1970's. In 1985, David and Suzanne Brown became the directors of Plantation, and they ran camp for 19 years. They carried Abe and Eve's vision into the 21st century, while maintaining the history and traditions that make Plantation unique.
