TMR IS OPENING THIS SUMMER!

For those of you who may have missed it, GNYC sent out the following:

The New York State Governor Cuomo in a press conference stated that overnight summer camps in New York can plan to reopen. He did not give a specific date they can restart, but said it will be in June. He also said the state will continue monitoring the Covid-19 pandemic as summer camp season approaches. We have been preparing for months to operate our Resident Camps at Ten Mile River, Aquehonga, Keowa and Ranachqua this confirms the work we have been doing to plan for a summer season, and we welcome you and your Troop!

There may be additional requirements or regulations set forth by the Department of Health, as those requirements are released from the DOH we will communicate them and our specific plans on how camp will operate this summer to you. We are working closely with BSA Councils across the state as well as the New York State Camp Directors Association to advocate for a safe opening of camp. Camps are licensed by the state Department of Health and the county department of health also has influence in our operation. As we have more information we will share it with you and keep you and your Scout families informed about the summer of 2021.

What we know right now is that camps will legally be able to operate this summer. We are monitoring guidelines and restrictions and will communicate them to you. We need your help to let us know your Troops estimate of how many Scouts you plan to bring to camp this summer so we can plan appropriately. Please help us out by providing us with your estimate, by updating your online registration, or sending us an email.

Keep an eye out for our Leaders Guide which will be released soon. If you have not registered for camp and want to get your site reserved and your Hold-A-Place in please email us at 640Camping@Scouting.org

Not sure how it will look, but it will be good to see it open again.
