Which cities in the US will have summer camp open?

The Catskill region is part of the regions of New York State that Gov. Cuomo is opening up. As such, it appears likely summer sleep away camps as well as day camps in the Catskills will be in operation in late June/early July.

Isn’t that region scheduled to open on May 28?

As Goldiolicks notes, the OP make zero sense and may be a troll. No rational yiddeshe parents would remotely consider bringing home a new baby in these times to a home where there are five mobile petri dishes (aka ‘boys”) returning to that home every afternoon after a day of rolling around with dozens of other boys from other families. Unless you are going to test all the campers daily or require them to wear masks and socially distance, you are literally putting the life of the newborn at risk. Perhaps they are planning for mother and baby to be “quarantined” from the rest of the family but otherwise, the concept is beyond crazy.

Just speaking to a friend on the difficult choices implied by the OP and perhaps staying at home would be equally risky. The kids will still be out on the streets of Brooklyn coming home each day with potential issues and the data show that infants have low infection rates although this new Corona-related syndrome is worrisome.
Sad that we even have to deal with this Hobbesian choice.
To Sariray: much naches and good health with the baby and the whole family whatever choice you make.

I believe the Kawasaki-like illness hasn’t been seen in infants. From what I’ve read, Kawasaki itself usually hits kids up to age 5 (mean age 4), while for this new illness, the mean age is 8.

As of now, the earliest that rentals of bungalows, hotels etc. could be rented in NYS under Cuomo’s phased reopening plan wold be sometime in early to mid July, assuming there are no unforseen spikes in mortality/hospitalization rates. Those who open earlier risk loss of their occupancy permits and I suspect the local towns would be vigilant in monitoring any violations considering how opposed they have been to ANY opening. That would still allow for 6 or 7 weeks of vacation, assuming there are some who want to leave the city.

@DovidBT
In 2019 the daily cost for a 7 week whole summer stay broke down to $225
For 2020 with the new rules and restrictions in place it will be $298.25
There will be far fewer activities, no out of camp trips, less staff, no contact sports, no team sports that require more than 4 players on a team (due to the 9 campers to a counselor maximum), that means no baseball (9 players on a team) or basketball (4 players on a team). No wrestling or boxing, a Dramatic or musical presentation in the Rec hall could only have a cast, support staff and audience numbering 30.

With a limit of 30 in a group, they are planning to close the mess hall and deliver meals to each bunk to be eaten outside at a picnic table in nice weather or inside if it rains.

Sounds like a terrible summer for a huge cost. Other board members who opposed the opening think the season will be cancelled once final regulations are known and the health departments get involved.

I know that the cabins/bunkhouses have toilets and sinks with cold water only. Hot water is available in the shower houses. I can’t imagine the health department accepting cold water for sanitizing the cabins each day.

Jousting with six-foot lances could be a safe alternative to close-contact sports.

Thank you. I stand corrected on the off ground trips. That is a safety measure they have chosen i would assume. But i stand by the rest. Especially less activities. Don’t underestimate the creativity and resourcefulness of camp counselors. They do amazing things in low/no budget camps and with severely disabled campers who others think “can’t do much”. Don’t sell them short.

Hotels are considered essential in NYC and they are open (Some might be closed because of lack of Business)

I heard Camp Coolam/Yachad in Monsey has a plan for this summer.
