East Hampton Long Island New York Camp St Regis Rifle Range 1950s Postcard

This 1950s postcard documents the rifle range at Camp St. Regis in East Hampton on Long Island, New York, reflecting mid-century youth camp training and outdoor recreation culture.

Seasonal camps across Long Island incorporated structured athletics and marksmanship programs into their schedules, presenting shooting ranges as supervised skill-building activities within wooded camp settings. Facilities such as Camp St. Regis emphasized discipline, safety instruction, and organized competition as part of broader postwar recreational programming.

The image shows a line of campers positioned prone along a raised wooden firing platform, aiming rifles toward an off-frame target area. An instructor stands nearby while another adult sits at a small table overseeing the session, suggesting formal supervision and scorekeeping. Trees and dense shrubbery form a natural backdrop, reinforcing the controlled outdoor environment typical of established camp rifle ranges. The reverse is unposted.
