Youth and Recreation Services

The Town of Schodack Day Camp for resident children will run from July 7th through August 1st. The program will operate from Monday through Friday, 9:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. We will once again offer a bus service. Bus applications will be included in the registration packet. Registration packets will be available during regular business hours at the Town Hall beginning May 1st. Completed packets are due back to the Town Hall no later than June 1st. Due to the large amount of planning, ordering and scheduling, late registrations will not be accepted. Please be sure to abide by all deadlines.

Registration is $75.00 per child, with $175.00 maximum per family. Campers will participate in the Learn-to Swim Program, music, arts and crafts, science/nature class, games, contests, sports and field trips. The camp will swim on a daily basis at the Evergreen Country Club.

The children will be grouped according to age/grade with approximately 10-12 campers per Day Camp counselor for the older children and 4-6 campers per counselor for the younger children.

Due to the upcoming construction on several of the buildings, the actual day camp sites have yet to be decided. Information will be posted as it becomes available.
