Summer Camp Themes 2021

We will offer 3 sessions in Summer 2021. Two 4-week sessions and a 1-week session. These sessions are set up to reduce start dates and maintain a safe camp community setting. Our safety plans are based on professional medical input, CDC, NY State Health Department and American Camp Association data for general participant safety, safe-distancing and healthcare precautions to meet Covid challenges and reduce risk concerns. We’ve studied many other successful program safety plans of numerous residential programs serving individuals with I/DD in the past year, and are confident our safety planning, based on our highly experienced staff and long program history since 1961, will provide a safe setting for your child.
