Does anybody know the name of, or anything about such a camp?

Could have maybe been Camp Alvord Wildlife Sanctuary for girls. I can recall my parents and myself waving goodbye to my then 13-year old, older sister, as she waved back from the Camp Alvord boat as it left the Cattle Landing town dock in Meredith in late June, 1962. About a week later she quit Camp Alvord very early in the season, all stressed out because her Camp Alvord-Bear Island camp cabin had all these big scary, ugly, horrible spiders inside her waterfront camper cabin on the eastern, rising morning sun side of Bear Island which she did not appreciate ......
..... never to go to any summer camp again ..... boo-hoo! ..... plus their allotted daily time schedule with five different daily periods ..... 1st, 2nd, 3rd, lunch, rest period, 4th, 5th, dinner .... was too regimental for her, or something. ....
