Day Camp Enrollment is now open. Currently we are waiting to hear back from the NYS Department of Health on requirements for running Overnight Camp in Summer 2021.
This year continues to be full of unprecedented times for all of us. Here at YMCA Camp Cory, we are fortunate to have been able to serve over 175 families this past season, providing much needed respite to all who were able to attend Camp. We are looking ahead to 2021, starting anew with even more motivation and dedication to delivering an awesome 2021 summer!
Your child’s safety remains our #1 priority. The lessons learned in the camp community are currently being shared and evaluated to build the safest and best experience possible within CDC, Department of Health and American Camp Association guidelines.
What we know
- As of now, New York State has not lifted the ban on overnight camp. We remain optimistic, especially after seeing our Day Camp and Family Retreat’s successful season, that we will be able to provide the much-needed summer experience for your child in 2021.
- We expect changes to Camp life, including:
- Capacity limitations
- Face coverings
- Camper activity schedules
- Cabin cohorts
- We don’t have all the answers, but we do know that the Camp Cory experience is unparalleled in terms of childhood development. We remain committed to our mission to serve youth and families for generations to come.
- Updates will be made here as new information becomes available. Families will receive monthly emails or more often as pertinent information is available.
- For the latest information on COVID please visit: COVID Alert NY; Center for Disease Control; American Camp Association .
What’s next?
- Stay tuned for follow up communication from us regarding Session dates and registration opportunities. Registration will open first to those families who have already committed to camp by rolling their deposit forward, then to our Legacy Families and finally to new campers.
- Monthly Zoom meetings will begin 30 days after registration opens to provide updates and an opportunity for parents to connect, share and ask questions.
- Your Support continues to lift us through the fiscal crisis resulting from the pandemic. The generosity of our Camp family ensures that YMCA Camp Cory will be ready to continue to serve children and their families in 2021. Please contact me to learn more on how you can become a Sustaining Camp family.
We are grateful to be able to continue working with and supporting you as you make the best decisions for your children and family. We have appreciated the encouragement and critical feedback along the way which has helped us to navigate this unfamiliar territory that remains.
