Surprise Lake Camp
Surprise Lake Camp ('Castra Lacus Mirorum') est castra aestiva non lucrativa in plus quam 400 agris Cold Spring Novi Eboraci sita, circa 60 milia ad septentriones Urbis Novi Eboraci. Quae, anno 1901 condita, sunt unum ex veterrimis castris aestivis Iudaicis in Civitatibus Foederatis. 

Unum ex primis castrorum pueris fuit Eduardus Cantor, qui credidit suas perfunctiones iuvenis in Surprise Lake Camp (etiam in The Eddie Cantor Story pellicula biographica anno 1953 depictum) suum animum confirmavisse ut negotium spectaculorum iniret. Rebus ludionis bene gesti, unus ex castrorum fautoribus ardentissimis factus est.

Inter alios pueros qui castra frequentaverunt sunt Neil Diamond (qui dixit societatem Petri Seeger fuisse primum exemplar musicum quem viderat), Iosephus Heller, Jerry Stiller, Eugenius Simmons, Laurentius King, Neil Simon, et Gualterius Matthau.
