New Windsor cancels summer camps due to COVID-19 pandemic

Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the Town of New Windsor has made the difficult decision to cancel all town run summer camps that would have been held this summer. Supervisor Meyers is particularly concerned with the recent developments of the inflammatory syndrome being found in children that may possibly be related to COVID-19, which heavily factored into this decision.

The Town understands how much our families enjoy these camps each summer, however the safety of children is of the utmost concern of our Town officials.
