With guidance from the state of NY Health Department, please look for open enrollment for summer 2021 in mid-February. 

Dear Camp Families:

It has been an exceedingly challenging year for everyone: families, communities, businesses and local governments. But it has been especially difficult for children who have had to adjust to online learning, loss of sports and other out-of-school activities and dramatically altered holidays, vacations and celebrations. Not only have children missed out on many opportunities in 2020, but the staff of Peconic Dunes 4-H Camp have missed the fun, joy and learning that we share with our campers.We are currently making plans A, B and C for summer 2021. We intend to open our Day Camp program next summer since day camps were allowed to function this past year. We are also preparing for sleepaway camp with the hope that we will be permitted to operate by the NYS Health Department and with the expectation that there will be a number of restrictions and required safety protocols. The NYS Camp Directors Association just issued a powerful appeal and argument for why and how summer camps can open safely in 2021. If you’re interested, we have posted this paper on our website. Since a great deal is uncertain at this time, we plan to delay camp registration until February but will keep all camp families on our mailing list updated as we learn more about the requirements for summer 2021. Be sure to follow us on Instagram and Facebook for timely updates. We appreciate your understanding, patience and, most of all, your loyalty to Peconic Dunes 4-H Camp.
