Will there be Sleep Away Camp this summer?

It's a joke. It's just meant to justify raising funds for the organization and appease the public that they're doing something. Nobody really thinks this stands a chance

Camps that are serious about opening this summer, moved out of state.

I know a camp that is serious about opening this summer no matter what. In the Catskills.

Including the Agudah camp itself. Just goes to show what a joke and waste of money this pony show is. IMO the resources and connections could be better utilized on something that may actually yield real benefits.

As an overnight or day camp?

Plenty of the chasidish will open regardless. Its only a problem for kids anyway.

Ulster County is giving problems for day camps also, thats where one of the big satmar camps is.

This I just don't get. To what end? If the camp gets shut down after a week or 2, what are those kids supposed to do? At that point, it's too late for parents to make other arrangements. And what about the damage to the institution itself? Who pays the fines? Will this impair their ability to open next year? What about permits or certificates they need to run other programs? I just don't see justification here.

Only 2 of the grades moved out IIUC

Based on what are you saying this? Do you know whats going on behind the scenes?

Very possible. I'm not very familiar with their camps. I just saw the announcement of their move to NH.

Highly unlikely they get shut down, and for kids that live in brooklyn and have been stuck in a small apartment the last 4 months they'll take 2 weeks.

From what I understand, Rabbi Reisman felt that 7th and 8th (or 8th/9th, don't remember) graders needed camp more than others so he pushed them to move to NH. The rest of the grades are opening as day camp, I believe.

Based on what I see and read. I have no clue what's going on behind the scenes. I would point out that the question, "do you know what's going on behind the scenes," was thrown around a lot when they were trying to get shuls opened. IIRC, there wasn't much accomplished.

There was plenty accomplished with the shuls... after pesach the cops didn't go around closing shuls that were open..

[yaakov35]

That some of the camps have thousands of kids... what are they gonna do? Put up a fence? Bus them out? Fine the? They'll fight it.

That's not true.

That's not true.

You know of any shuls that the cops shut down??
