No summer camp? No problem. Here are 5 ways to re-create the experience for kids stuck at home
Dear Parents,
Many of you have been inquiring about my decision to cancel Staten Island Day Camp for the 2020 camp season. Even though summer day camps have been given the green light to open in New York this summer, we will not be opening Staten Island Day Camp since I do not feel we would be able to guarantee the level of safety we believe is essential to operate camp this season . Our primary goal at Staten Island Day Camp has always been to provide a safe environment for the children and staff. Please stay safe for the coming months and keep us in mind for the 2021 camp season.
Sincerely,
Valerie Halpern
