An open house for new families will be held on Monday February 6th at 8 pm at the Great Neck Estates village hall. Returning families are welcome as well, but this meeting is designed to provide an introduction to the camp. Can’t wait to see you!

Due to the rain camp will be at Young Israel today. The kids will have a great day!
After camp and the car wash are canceled. We will try and reschedule the car wash for tomorrow or Thursday.

Due to the rainy weather tomorrow, camp will be held indoors at Young Israel located at 236 Middle Neck Road. Camp will start at the normal time of 9 am and end at the usual time. Children do not need to bring a swimsuit and towel. However, please send your children to camp with a water bottle and a sweater if your child is likely to be cold in the air conditioned space. We have some very special activities planned for the rainy day, so it will be a great day for the kids regardless of the weather!

There will be no after camp today.

Also due to the weather, Family Night 2011 will be canceled. The camp show has been rescheduled for Thursday morning at 10 am in the GNE park. We apologize for the change, however, we were unable to schedule the show for another time. If you are cannot to attend the show Thursday morning, we will be recording the show and will post the video to the camp web site at the end of the week. Again, we apologize for the last minute schedule changes and appreciate your patience.

The forecast has changed, so the rainy day alert has been canceled. Please bring all campers to the park for a fun day outside!

Family Night is still rescheduled.

Camp will be held at Young Israel (236 Middle Neck Rd) on Wednesday, August 3rd due to rain. All campers should be picked up at 4 pm, there will be no “after camp” program. Please send your child in with a water bottle, no swimsuits or towels are needed.

Family Night 2011 is rescheduled for Tuesday, August 16th from 6-7:30 pm.

Here is a summary of what was discussed and our currently scheduled calendar of events.

For those of you who would like to get your shopping done in advance, each camper will need to bring their own tennis racket to camp. It can be left at camp, or brought in each Wednesday and Friday. Sneakers with socks must be worn each day. Water shoes can be used at the pool only. Spray on sunscreen is preferred for easier reapplication during the day. Two bathing suits will be used on most days. Large ziplock bags will be very helpful for keeping wet and dry items apart.

All medical forms must be received before the first day of camp for children to attend. There will be no exceptions.
