Dear members of the Usdan community, Shortly after this evening's storm, we noticed smoke on campus and discovered a small fire. The Melville Fire Department arrived quickly and contained the fire. We are now working with the Fire Department to determine the cause of the fire and extent of the damage. No one was hurt and there will be no disruption to post-season camp operations. I want to express my extreme gratitude to the Melville Fire Department and Suffolk County Police Department. Their quick and efficient work ensured minimal impact on our campus. Additionally, I am so thankful for the support of the Usdan community. This summer, nearly 2000 students and staff, along with their families, brought these grounds to life. Together, we can, and will, weather any storm. I will keep you updated as more information becomes available. Lauren Brandt Schloss | Executive Director |
