February Parent News

Happy February to our Island Lake Families! As we sit here in our winter office looking at the snow outside of our windows, it feels as though summer 2017 was all a distant dream. However, our summer 2018 countdown has already kicked into gear and lucky for us, camp will sneak up on us before we know it. 142 days to go as of February 1st!

We are busy preparing for our big trip that we are offering to all of our oldest campers this upcoming summer. We’re excited for our annual 4 day/3 night TEEN TRIP in our 2nd session to TORONTO & NIAGARA FALLS! This amazing trip will be offered to all campers entering 9th grade and higher. Keep an eye on your mailbox (actual mailbox, not virtual one) for more details to arrive real soon for this fun-filled experience. There will be an enrollment form for you to fill out and return to us at our winter office. We also have info regarding this trip in our monthly newsletters. We will visit the CN Tower, Canada’s Wonderland Amusement Park, the Hockey Hall of Fame, we’ll go Jet Boating, and of course, experience Niagara Falls, both during the day and at night! So,…much,…FUN!!!

A reminder to our summer ‘17 and ’18 families; don’t forget to read our monthly newsletters. You can access them here on our website (“Island Lake Families” and then “ILC News”) as well as in your postal mailbox at the start of every month. Our newsletters provide important information for parents as well as campers, including enrollment and availability updates.

Speaking of enrollment, if you have not yet registered your child for summer 2018 but plan to do so, please, please, please do not put it off any longer. Some bunks are now completely full. We truly do not want to turn away loyal campers so let’s avoid that from happening. You can register your child with the registration form mailed to you with your newsletter or you can download the form here on our website under “Island Lake Families” and then “Forms & Mailings”. It only takes a few minutes to fill out the registration form, we promise!

To all current Island Lake families, we look forward to an amazing summer 2018 with your children. To all prospective families, feel free to contact us if you have any questions after browsing our website: 914-769-6060. And last but not least, to one and all,…ILC U THERE!

January Parent News

Happy New Year! All of us at Island Lake hope you had a wonderful holiday season filled with love, happiness, presents, and lots to reminiscence about your children’s wonderful memories of their 2017 ILC experiences. As we sit here in our winter office with the chill outside, it feels as though summer 2017 is a distant, yet fond, memory. Our countdown for summer 2018 has already kicked into gear and our opening day of camp will be here before we know it. Words cannot even describe our excitement for summer 2018 to get here already! 173 days until camp begins (as of January 1st)!

Our camp reunion on November 18th was a huge success! Screams of excitement filled the air as campers and staff embraced one another. We had a fantastic turnout, including children and counselors who flew in from other parts of the country just to see their camp friends. The reunion never seems to last long enough. Time flies when we’re having fun catching up with many of our Island Lakers. Check out our reunion photos posted right here on the homepage of our website, on our Facebook page, as well as here on our blog.

We’re busy planning for our annual 2nd session TEEN TRIP, which this summer will be to Toronto & Niagara Falls, Canada. This trip will be offered to all campers entering 9th grade and higher. Check out more details in your January newsletter and if you have any additional questions, feel free to give us a call. The enrollment forms and details for this trip will be mailed out shortly to all who are eligible to take advantage of this fun-filled experience.
