Outreach
Beyond Summer
In September 2017, The Summer Camp launched a camper Outreach pilot program with four key initiatives designed to help campers and alumni reach their personal, academic and career goals by offering support and connection throughout the year. Logan Thompson, Assistant Director, leads the Outreach program.
Pen Pal Activity
What: Exchange letters with your bunkmates. In late November, TSC will send each camper a starter kit complete with stationery, envelopes, stamps, stickers and addresses so you can write to bunkmates and counselors. If you do not receive your Pen Pal starter kit, please email Logan.
Community Connections
What: During the fall, winter and spring months, The Summer Camp hosts special activities in various areas throughout New York and New England. Join your fellow Summer Campers, their families and alumni at an event near you to reconnect with your Summer Camp friends and counselors!
