Our field trip tomorrow is to Niagara Falls and we will be taking a ride on the Maid of the Mist. We will be bringing camp lunches. If your child does not get camp lunch please pack them a lunch and a drink in a disposable lunch bag. Red camp t-shirts should be worn. If your child has not received one we can get one tomorrow. We have found that our supply was short and we ran out of some sizes so please wear a red t-shirt if you have one just in case.
If there are campers that didn’t get to tye die something today, we will also be able to do it again tomorrow so they can bring something in.
Just a reminder have your camper bring something to tye die today!
Tomorrow’s field trip is to Beaver Island Beach. Our camp shirts arrived, they are red. Every child in attendance today received one. Everyone else will get theirs in the morning. For the field trip campers need:
- Swimsuit
- Towel
- sunscreen
- water bottle
- some type of sandals/flip flops/crocs etc. may be a better idea than sneakers
- to wear new camp shirt
We are bringing the camp lunches, if your child does not take the camp lunch then please send them with a lunch and drink.

Our field trip t-shirts still have not arrived. If your child has a maroon or dark red shirt feel free to have them wear that. If not, no worries.

We found this dog today running around near the Cheektowaga Recreation Center. Another gentleman who was trying to get him said he has been running around Harlem Road near town park. He is very sweet, gentle and trained. If someone knows who this boy belongs to please call us at 716-897-7205. We have called the dog warden who cannot get here until later.
Due to a few different circumstances with staff today Saturday June 25th, we will not be in the camp office. We will be in the office next week starting Monday, 9 AM to 3 PM.

To our 2021 campers, families, and staff - Thank you from the bottom of my heart for another successful day camp season. This year was hard. Trying to deal with changes due to Covid; different field trips, not being able to take as many kiddos, less staff, and just never seeming to have enough time in a day made the days seem hard and exhausting. However, realizing that for some kiddos this was maybe the first almost back to normal thing they have been able to do in over a year and a half made it all worthwhile. Seeing the counselors feeling the love today as campers cried while they said goodbye, made it all worthwhile. Hearing parents say, “See you next year!” made it all worthwhile. We do this because we love the kids. I continue to do this because as a teacher and a mom I know how important these moments, these relationships are for the children and the staff. Thank you for to everyone who helped make the 2021 Alexander Summer Day Camps happen! I hope everyone has a great school year and we will see you again in 2022!
