May 18, 2020: Possibility of a June opening for Nawakwa?
— the Board of Directors is investigating
There has been some communication from the Park concerning the status of group camps in Harriman. There will be more guidance this week as the Park receives information from NY State on regulations in Phase 1 specific to camping, hiking, and outdoor activities. The Park, following State guidelines, is allowing group camps to open beginning June 1. Each group camp operates differently and will need to present to the Park a plan outlining their modifications to operate safely. Camp Nawakwa is not open until approval is given by the Park. This week, the Board will be discussing a plan for the safe and equitable opening of Camp Nawakwa. The plan will take into account suggestions from members, regulations of the State for outdoor activities for Phase 1, and CDC guidelines for sanitizing and safe distancing.
