Bolton Camp - 25 years after it's closure.
In this video I revisit the property at which I spent a large part of my childhood, 25 years after it was closed down.
As well as spending the entire summer months here for most of my childhood, we (my mother, brother and I) also spent time here periodically all through the other seasons of the year. It was just as exciting to experience in the cold Canadian winters when the snow was knee deep, and beautiful to see in autumn as the season changed and brought the colours of fall.
This place was operated as a non profit organization, which provided the summer camp experience for "under privileged", inner city children/families. Many of whom would otherwise never have an experience like this one.
As my mother was employed here as one of the camps nurses, I was lucky enough to be able to spend much more time here than most. The only strange thing for us was meeting a new group of children every few weeks in the summer as they rotated them in and out.
However, as all who spent time here can attest to, to know this place intimately as we do connects us and makes us a family. We knew we were always being watched over by the staff here as children and grew to know them well.
As we became teenagers, we both had an opportunity to work here as counsellors ourselves. My brother for a number of years, and I for the one summer immediately before it was sadly closed down permanently.
I made many friends here. Many of whom I am still in regular contact with till this day.
Hard to believe that last summer was a quarter of a century ago as of the filming of this video, and my very first time at the camp was over 40 years ago. So early into my childhood that I have no memory of it. I simply grew up here. Being here year after year was just part of our lives. Something we expected and never questioned or thought would eventually come to an end.
Bolton Camp operated from 1922 until it was finally closed in 1999 due to a lack of funding.
However, remnants of the camp grounds still remain in this place, and can be explored with a bit of effort and caution.
The Bolton camp grounds were split into two major sections. Upper camp and Lower camp.
Upper camp was occupied by mothers and small children who still needed to be under their parents supervision, while lower camp was visited by older children - pre-teens to early teens, who experienced the summer camp setting away from their parents and under the supervision of camp counsellors. For many of them this was likely the first time away from their parents and gave them an experience of freedom.
Upper camp was named "Howell", while lower camp was split into two sub sections - "Rotary" (Boys Camp), and "Sherbourne" (Girls Camp). I visited all sections of the camp over a period of a week while filming this.
Bolton Camp was and is a special place for many people. Though mostly gone to time, It lives on in our Hearts.

Was that your ow!
Drinking alcohol isn't a good idea either but can still be fun.
Lol. Id take the booze over the toad, but if you decide to try it, do let me know how it is.
How often have you gotten bit feeding with fingers like that
It has happened a few times.. It doesnt hurt, but its difficult to get them to let go.
So I’m getting ready to get some of these geckos and I’m wondering, what kind of lighting do I need? My room is warm during the summer and gets cold during the winter. Should I get heating pads?
If it gets cold in the winter, I would definetly get some source of heat in order, but these animals are very easy to keep. They do well at room temperature (65-75), so assuming you can just turn on your heating, they may be fine without an additional heat source. They also do not techically require any special lighting, but should have a 12 hour day and night light cycle. Ive personally fou d that they seem to breed better when kept in a planted vivarium with good humidity, so in that case youd want UV - but more for the benefit of your plants than the geckos. General rule of thumb is that UV, if not essantial, can probably still provide benefits and make for a more natural environment.
@@ItsAaronRose thank you this helps a lot. You got a new subscriber
@@Sidishh happy to help
Really cool. Love the creativity
❤❤
🤘
Love this song.. - things i do for money
Its a good one.
Looking good Aaron. Love the garden snake. - Ray 🎼
Crazy
It is pretty wild. One of the things I wanted to see the most when in Lima.
How much should a juvenile eat he or she is like 7/8 months old
Really depends on the size more so than age. Crickets & Cockroaches come in a range of sizes. Without knowing how big yours is, Id say its probably fine to eat anything from 1/4 inch to 3/4 inch. Even when small they can still eat things that are fairly large, but it should ideally be the same size of its mouth.
He or she is about 3 inches wide
I usually feed mostly night crawlers and Dubai roaches but mostly always worms
@@user-sx7nj6pd3w at that size, Id still feed pretty frequently. No longer a baby, but still capable of growing quitr a but more. Particularly if female.
Love moths
Me too.
Awesomeness 👌
Thanks homie
Could you just have an ant colony and feed them that?
I dont see why you couldnt feed them ants, but I dont think those alone would provide a good balance of nutrition for them.
First time seeing one of your videos and I really enjoyed it! Now I'm subscribed 😊 thank you for what you do please stay safe always.
Thanks. Much appreciated.
🎉 Well done, Aaron. Thank you for sharing your adventures down memory lane. - Ray 🎼
Glad you enjoyed it
Thanks for the memories. So sad about Howell.
Yes. Nothing lasts forever unfortunately.
Badass video
Wow that was surreal surreal! I really enjoyed this video thanks for making it❤
Thank you ❤️
Snakes are most definitely very cool! I don't happen to keep any boas, but I do keep many different species of python, including the 3 largest species. Pythons are basically just the egg laying equivalent of a boa. I just happened to get more into python species than boa species. Another interesting thing is that generally speaking, pythons can grow and reproduce a little faster than boas can. All 5 of the top 5 largest python species can all growfaster than the green anaconda, which is the largest species of boa. Not entirely sure why, just something ive noticed. One of my snakes, an African rock python, was 10ft by her 1st birthday. I know her exact hatch date. It wasnt just a year after i got her. It was 1 year after she actually hatched. She grew that fast! It would take a large female green anaconda around 4 or 5 years to reach 10ft. In all fairness, my african rock python is not average by any means. Shes a snake that was born with just the right genetics to be exceptionally large. She grew far faster than my burmese or reticulated pythons who were fed on the same diet. She just has stronger genetics for growth than they do, even though her species is smaller on average. If their genetics had landed differently, my burmese or reticulated pythons could have been the ones growing to 10ft by their 1st birthday. Even an exceptional green anaconda couldnt match that kind of growth rate though. They just arent designed to be fast growers like the large pythons are for whatever reason. My guess would be that developing live babies takes more energy and caused them evolve to grow slower to conserve that energy.
Thats all very true, unfortunately in Toronto it is illegal to keep any snake that reaches a length of more than 3 metres. Its pretty silly, and I know for a fact that some people do actually keep retics. It is a risk though unfortunately, and would be a real shame to have your pet taken away. Canada in general has some very strict laws regarding what is acceptable and what isnt.
@@ItsAaronRose Since im sure the law has to do with species, im sure super dwarf localities arent an option? In that case, get a timor python. They are basically a dwarf retic, but since they are technically a seperate species that does not grow over 3 meters i would think that you should be ok. Maybe? Seriously though, its silly how closely related they are to retics. They are the only 2 species in the malayopython genus. So a timor is literally the closest you can have to a retic, without being a retic. They are supposedly every bit as smart and curious as retics too from what i hear.
@@alexcrowder1673 you would think it would be species specific, and in some cases I believe it is, but generally I think the law mostly just applies to size. You may be able to keep something legally, but once they deem it to big to be kept as a pet, you may run into trouble. As I understand it though, retics are outright banned. Many of the laws in Canada about these things are quite silly, but the same is true in many places. We are able to keep many things here that others are not though.. I think a general attitude of many in Toronto though is that its only illegal if youre cuaght. There is definetly a black market that exists.
wait, so you raised it just to kill it and pin it?
No, it died on its own. Had intended to breed it, but was not succesful. The video though short, was shot increments over the course of more than 6 months.
how'd you get it while it was a baby, babies r so hard to find
From a breeder.
am also raising this emperor scorpion, it is small, but when it stung me once, it was a bit painful.
Nice! What fish is thar at the opening? It looks a bit like a seal. - Ray 🎼
Its a puffer fish. Blackspotted.
Love it!!

Why is it shaking?
Males do this when picked up. It thinks its being mounted by another male, and is telling me to get off him.
Nice 🤘
Thanks!

Looks nice, how’d you manage to get it in picture/video without it trying to attack you? Can’t it feel the movement very well since it’s blind..?
Who said it didnt try to attack me? 😉
😆 🤣 😂 nope.. ornamental baboon looks mean.
Its not one of the nicer ones.
I did know they have birth to live young. - Ray 🎼
Yes, in the case of emperors, typically 10 on average, but have seen much more think once around 17. Theyre defenless and easy prey when born, so nature needs to give them good odds.
would you sell the clones of these geckos? i have been wanting to get one for a while, and i can't find a good source
I would, but you would have to be close by Toronto. I dont want to ship live animals. Im not a breeder, just a hobbyist.
@@ItsAaronRose ok, im from the usa, so i guess not
@@wolfloverboy1176 lol yeah, sorry. But I really dont think theyre hard to find online. The good thing is once you do find one, youll have a lot of them before long.
@@ItsAaronRose yeah lol
Do you do anything extra during the drying or cleaning to prevent parasites and pest? Im always terrified im going to set them in the case and have them start breaking down
With moths, and smaller bugs no, but with tarantulas and larger inverts, your best protection against this is to clean out the guts as well as possible. Flies/maggots are not going to feed on their exoskeleton. You can also inject with alcohol afterwards. This will kill any smelly bacteria that might attract them. Sometime its gonna happen though unfortunately - particularly when youre just learning.. flies like dead things, and are a gross but necessary part of the cycle of life. You'd also be surprised how quickly ppl can be conditioned to things that gross them out though as well..
I had one large one a while back become infested with maggots. I removed them with tweezers one at a time and was able to salvage it. The problem with that specimen was that it sat to long after dying. If it smells bad, it probably already contains eggs, and they will hatch before long. When youre working on this stuff, a key point other than those above is to begin when its a fresh as possible. I put things into the freezer immediately, so that theyre still fresh when Im ready to thaw and work on them.
