Even if a camp managed to open getting campers and staff and their belongings there would be both a logistical nightmare and super expensive.
No yellow school buses loaded with 42 kids and a driver. One child every other row on each side of the bus means 10 or 11 kids per bus. No families loading the SUV or minivan with 8 kids and driving upstate. Who will disinfect the campers, clothing, bedding, supplies upon entry to camp.
This may be harsh, but the required inspection, separation, segregation and sanitizing would be reminiscent of a different type of cam Jews went to in the last century.
I would not trust my grandchildren to be subject to the inspections of overworked health department employees in the little towns of the Catskills.
