Summer Programs
Due to the continued affects of COVID-19, the 2021 summer camp schedule has been pared down. Consequently, many of our regular programs will not be offered.
The modified schedule remains contingent on NY State's continued approval for holding residential summer camp in 2021. We are however, moving forward with plans for the summer. In light of that, we are excited to open our registration portal on Monday, March 15th.
