Willsboro, NY “Pok-O in a nutshell” Friday, July 16, 2004

PARENTS DAY TOMORROW Families reunite on Pok-O grounds for camp tours, fun WILLSBORO, NY -- Tomorrow, Saturday, July 17, 2004 will see the 100th Annual Pok-O-MacCready Parents Day and Pok-O Picnic. Each year we invite and encourage parents to visit their children in the camp setting on our enjoyable, relaxed Parents Day.  Parents are invited to enjoy the Pok-O Picnic and spend the day on the grounds. Parents Day is also a fantastic opportunity to meet your child’s cabin counselor, section head, and the entire camp staff, or even allow a younger sibling to see the fun there is to be had! Campers are allowed to leave camp for the day with their legal guardians in order to enjoy the surrounding area.  Please ask camp staff for recommendations of local attractions and destinations. If you will be leaving camp, campers should be returned by 6:30 PM to the Theater Barn for the annual Counselor Play.  The play is written to remind the campers of why they love camp, and to avoid any possible lingering separation anxiety after a fun day with their families.  We ask, therefore, that parents say their goodbyes and depart quickly after drop-off. It is prohibited to bring food of any sort back to camp after Parents Day. Highlights of tomorrow’s program: Meet Sharp Swan, director of Pok-O-MacCready Camps See the brand new Tennis Courts! Preview here. Speak with the Heads of Camp, Melissa Livsey and Erik Zimmerman, who will be roving the MacCready Fields in the morning. Speak with Chris Durlacher, Director of Admissions and Program Director, about the website, this summer’s program, or plans for next summer. Pok-O Picnic, beginning at 12:00 -- good food, company, and ICE CREAM!   In the coming days: Pok-O-MacCready’s 100th Birthday celebration Vespers on the Lake Indian Days!
