For the past four months, we at Camp Regis Applejack have attempted to develop a way to safely run this summer despite the fact that the majority of our peer camps had already canceled.

Check in with the camp staff with any concerns, learn about our new exciting program of Ukele Building and Lessons from our Alumnus Mike Lemma coming this summer, and hear about the great time we had at the ACA Tri-State Camp Conference.
Our Februray 2020 Newsletter is a space this month to write about some new or expanded programs that we are really excited about for this upcoming summer.

We are also in the beginning stages of setting up a 75th Anniversary Reunion at the end of our summer session this year.
