Not so sure. I gave a deposit, and it does not seem like they are opening, yet no money returned yet. Yeshivahs at least by me are cashing headchecks business as usual, with no communication with the parents. Money makes people do funny things.
im sure they would have returned to you
Quotes in a signature is annoying, as it comes across as an independent post.
ive heard of a few camps that sent back the deposits
Another but similar thing I was wondering, should be a different thread but I'll add it here: Will seminaries in E"Y be open next year ( September 2020)?
I heard that Gan Israel Montreal, one of largest Lubavitch camps formally notified parents that they will not be opening.
Any source for that? From their website it looks like it's on (so far).
Relative of mine who was registered was called by the camp and told they are not opening. Don’t know if that’s limited to his section of camp or the whole camp.
1. Because God runs this world2. I hear... maybe... but remember God runs this world3. The ship was infected by people who came on and was never properly disinfected before round two
what does Gd runs the world have to do anything? Wasn’t he running the World when the virus came in the first place??
Yes and some people are blind. Now even the atheists are starting to say 'Etzba Elokim Hi'
Wow, okay then.
Noboby knows for sure. Would be nice if someone who directs a camp would chime in here on what is going on behind the scenes. I heard that Gan Israel Montreal, one of largest Lubavitch camps formally notified parents that they will not be opening. Canada might be more stringent than the U.S. In general there are many unknowns at this point, to the extent where it's impossible to make preparations for camp without risking large sums of money. As others have mentioned, schools may consider running through the summer. Even if elementary schools don't, yeshivos might want bochurim to make up for lost time and not allow them to staff the summer camps. High school students may need to take state regents in June-August. (NYS cancelled regents, not sure about others)We may be looking at a hybrid school/day-camp situation for elementary schools if we are out of the Covid danger by summer. As for bungalow colonies, if schools are running, bungalow colonies are not happening. This is aside from the fact that the already fiercely anti-Semitic Sullivan County will fight tooth and nail to not allow them to open this year.
...
How can they do that? Don’t the colonies and camps pay the same property tax as the year-round residents?
Don’t think a colony receives a CO every year.
Just checked with them. They received an email that is now being rumored as inauthentic. So I take that back.
I work for one of the big camps got a phone call today that we should start opening next week
opening what?
