SUMMER 2021

Dear Usdan Parents and Caregivers,

As your children transition to the beginning of the school year, we are already looking towards its end and are excited to share that Usdan is actively planning for an in-person 2021 summer.

Fueling our enthusiasm is the vision of welcoming your children onto the campus.

Our Executive Director Lauren mentioned in her recent musing that, as we plan for a summer back in the woods, we are prioritizing the following:

Youth Creativity: For Usdan to keep your children’s creativity and artistry thriving. Likely more than ever, youth need creativity to solve the world’s challenges as well as artistry to express and process them.
Equity: For Usdan to be accessible to any student who wants to attend, and once those students arrive, for them to have everything they need to thrive.
Sustainability: For Usdan to be fully sustainable by 2030.
Health & Safety: For Usdan community members to be safe and secure whether on the bus or in the Usdan woods.

Scenario planning, the roll-out of in-person learning in schools, plus guidance from the American Camp Association, CDC, and Suffolk County Health Department will guide our decision-making throughout the year.

We will be back in touch in late October with more information on Summer 2021 enrollment. In the meantime, enrollment is open for Usdan’s first ever Fall session via Usdan Online. You can read more about what your children can learn in our online studios by clicking the button below.

From now until the last child leaves campus in August 2021, we remain committed to being open about our planning and decision-making process.

Thank you for your ongoing trust.

Here’s to a year of creativity, equity,
sustainability, and safety.

Sending warmth,
Usdan Staff
