Cream colored felt pennant with blue trim and strips of felt on the left side, a tall tree in blue, and the text "Camp Tall Trees" in blue. On the back is an ink stamp in green with the text "The Felt Crafters / Emblematic Sportswear for Club-Camp-Campus / Factories - Plaistow, N.H. / Made in U.S.A." The Louisville Young Men's Hebrew Association and its successor the Jewish Community Center held 2-3 week overnight summer camps at Camp Tall Trees in Meade County, Kentucky, about 35 miles from Louisville. In 1966, a section of Otter Creek Park was renovated and opened as Camp Ben F. Washer, the successor to Camp Tall Trees.
