Once upon a time, in the bustling, dazzling state of New York, where skyscrapers kissed the sky and pizza slices were as broad as smiles, a pack of brave, pint-sized adventurers, known as the 'Zip Zap Zumbies', were on a thrilling quest. They weren't your average New Yorkers. No, siree! They were the audacious, high-flying, zip lining kings and queens of the Empire State.

Dressed in their brightly colored helmets that could be spotted from a satellite in space, fluttering capes, and boots that hadn't been tied quite right, the 'Zip Zap Zumbies' were always ready for their next high-speed escapade. Their favorite haunt was the forests of the Adirondacks. They would spend their days catapulting through the leafy canopy, leaving trails of laughter in the wind as they zipped from tree to tree, like squirrels on a sugar rush.

The 'Zip Zap Zumbies' were led by their fearless leader, Whiz Kid Wally. A ten-year-old with freckles scattered across his nose like constellations, Wally had a heart of gold and a laugh that could wake a hibernating bear. His red hair turned fiery under the sun, earning him the nickname, the 'Flaming Comet'. He was the fastest zipliner in all of New York State - maybe even the world!

But it wasn't about being the fastest for the 'Zip Zap Zumbies'. It was about being together, sharing giggles and screams, and filling their hearts with the joy of flight. So, if you're ever in New York, listen for the winds carrying their laughter, and look up. You might just spot a 'Zip Zap Zumbie' zipping past.

The hard work and dedication of Mel Northrop, Colin Caldwell, and Stephen Smith to start a summer Bible camp for children paid off in July 1952 when the first Camp Li-Lo-Li opened at Allegany State Park. Despite the fact that these three men had never run a camp before, their passion for the ministry inspired them to learn the ins and outs of running a camp and they succeeded in their mission. The camp was named by 11-year-old Betty Carol Northrop in a naming competition and stands for Life-Love-Light, all attributes of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

At Camp Olmsted, our goal is to give children and families from disadvantaged backgrounds the chance to experience the joys of outdoor camping. This mission dates back to the early 1900’s and has been extended to include immigrant families too. 

In the 1960’s, the United Methodist City Society opened the United Methodist Camp Service, which allowed children and families from low-income neighborhoods in NYC to attend camp and offered support throughout the summer camp registration process. 

More recently, in 1997, the United Methodist City Society took ownership of Camp Olmsted and, along with registration for Camp Olmsted, children were given the chance to register for the Fresh Air Fund. This service has enabled countless underserved communities to experience the magic of camping.
