Division Visiting Days

Visiting Schodack this Summer

We are excited to see our campers, families, staff, and alumni this summer. While this is not the way we hoped 2020 would look, we cannot stand being away from you all summer.  Since your health and safety are most important to us, please see the details below.

We would like to invite each 2020 Age Division to camp for a day similar to Visiting Day:

• Families are invited to visit between 11 AM and 4 PM
• Parents/guardians are responsible for being with their own children.  Campers, parents, and siblings are welcome!  Immediate family only. We discourage carpooling.
• These days will not be staffed at activities.
• We have plenty of room to spread out on blankets and picnic tables. We will be outdoors and camp will be set up with physical distancing in mind.
• We will follow all current NYS safety guidelines (we will share specifics guidelines as we get closer to the days at camp).
