● "WESTPORT-March 10, 2010: As a child, Waldemar Kasriels wasn't allowed to play outside like the typical young boy. His parents didn't want him to engage in 'rough and tumble activities' for fear he might get hurt or even lose his life. But his life choices have been just the reverse.
The owner of Normandie Beach Club on Furnace Point Lane devotes his life to giving others the opportunity to enjoy the outdoor world. He believes in opening up this world to everyone — but especially for children.
Kasriels, now 73, was born in France in 1937. His father was stationed in New York City as a representative of the French government responsible for promoting French products in the United States. The family moved back and forth between the two countries with some frequency, and the boy grew up bilingual.
A GLORIOUS VIEW: By the age of 20, Kasriels supported himself by picking up odd jobs in New York City. In time, he assumed the responsibility of running the sports activities of the Lycée Francais there.... During winter breaks, Kasriels led ski trips and gave skiing lessons. In the summer, he rented facilities in New England to run as summer camps for children. Some of those were less than satisfactory, for example the one that featured a dining room with a collapsed roof.....
Eventually, Kasriels began to search the real-estate advertisements for a camp on the market. He left Vermont and headed for the Adirondacks with little knowledge of the area.
'I crossed Lake Champlain in September and found this place in Westport.'
The property's main house had once been the home of Chicago department store magnate Marshall Field....... 'In 1970,' Kasriels said, 'I opened a camp here for children aged 6 to 16. Many of my early campers came from the Lycée Francais.....'
SUMMER RESORT: By the mid-'90s, Camp Normandie had fallen prey to the conditions affecting all childrens camps. Economic problems, the changing interests of children and the costs of maintenance ate away at their very existence. So it was time for a change. Kasriels turned Camp Normandie into a summer resort featuring a sandy beach with an array of waterfront activities, tennis and basketball courts, a swimming pool, informal lakeside dining at the Coco Café by the waterfront and a more formal dinner environment up the hill. The camp cabins were extensively renovated and converted to individual and family rental lodges......His wife, Molly, takes care of camp registrations and the finances....
'When I walk around this property at this time of year, I realize how much I have done to make it as beautiful as it is,' Kasriegs said. 'Yet the beauty of this land was here long before me and will be here long after I am gone.' "
