Question: Will there be swimming available for Campers in the Full Day Program this summer? - UPDATED 3/29
Answer: YES- Full Day Campers will have the opportunity to swim at least 1 time per week this summer at Lake Isle Country Club. Please note this swimming is a “free-swim” for about 45 minutes with Buddy checks every 15 minutes (as per Westchester County Health Department Summer Camp Code). This swim time will take place between 9am-10am on assigned days. On these days an early drop-off may be needed at Camp for those Campers in order to optimize the time at the pool. Information about specific Swim Days will be given after registration is complete as we need to see the make-up of the ages and grades of the campers registered. Please note Campers in 1st-2nd grade will ONLY be permitted in the Kiddie and/or Mushroom Pool at Lake Isle. Campers in 3rd-6th grade will be swim tested in order to enter the larger Pool. More details will be given after registration, but please know your camper will be swimming 1 time per week (baring any rain-outs on the day that your camper is assigned to Swim)
Question: Will there be Camp Trips for Full-Day Campers?
Answer: No, unfortunately there will be no Camp trips for the Summer of 2021
Question: Will there be Entertainers at Camp?
Answer: Yes, we will have entertainers such as clowns, magicians and specialty entertainment.
Question: Will there be a Camp Show that Parents Can attend?
Answer: No, unfortunately we cannot have our traditional Camp Show where Parents come to the Camp, but we will work on alternatives and keep you updated throughout Camp.
Question: Can my camper request to be with their friend in Camp?
Answer: Yes, groups will be no larger then 15 campers per group this Summer. We will accept 2 group requests per camper. We try our best to honor all requests, but they can not be guaranteed. Please note due to the current New York State Camp Guidelines we can not switch campers from group to group throughout the Summer.
Question: Will there be an extended- day option for Full-Day Camp?
Answer: At this time No. Due to the current New York State Camp Guidelines coupled with our space and Camp set-up, we are not going to be able to offer an extended-day option for Summer Camp 2021. Full-Day Camp will end at 3:00pm daily.
Question: What happens if I register, but need to cancel before camp begins because my child can no longer attend?
Answer: Generally, refunds are granted only if a program is cancelled by the Recreation Department. The Recreation Department reserves the right to cancel any program and issue the appropriate refunds whenever it is considered in the best interest of the Department. Registrants assume full responsibility for any changes in their personal life, which may affect their ability to participate. In rare cases, a participant may encounter an unforeseeable, and unavoidable situation that they feel may warrant a refund of fees paid. These situations will be reviewed on an individual basis by the Superintendent, who will make a refund determination. A $25.00 processing fee will be retained by the Town in all cases that refunds, partial refunds, or program transfers are granted. Camp refunds require a $100.00 processing fee. For all refunds, proof of payment and a written request stating the reason for the refund are required.
