Camp Scatico has been in operation since 1921. It was founded by Nat Holman of the Original Celtics.[1] Holman sold the camp to his niece Ruth (1921–2011) and her husband Irwin “Flick” Fleischner (1922–2004) in 1964, and the camp is currently owned and operated by their son David Fleischner and his wife Diana Wallerstein.[2] It is the site where Camp MTV was taped, which aired Sunday, July 30, 1989.[3]
