There is so much to be excited about for the upcoming summer, from staff to campers, to renovations and additions, we are eager to share the details with you. Please feel free to contact us regarding questions about the program or enrollment, as we still have openings, and we look forward to sharing another great summer with all of you who are returning for the summer of 2010!

ACA Accreditation: For those who were not aware, last summer Buck's Rock underwent a rigorous accreditation assessment with the American Camping Association. It takes months of preparation and the ACA evaluates our safety standards and procedures for all aspects of camp and our program. We scored an impressive 100% and as always remain committed to highest of standards for our operations, facilities and policies.

2010 Staff: We are thrilled to share that we have the highest returning number of staff in all of Buck's Rock history with 70% of alumni returning this summer. If you are interested in viewing the names of returning staff, please go to http://www.bucksrockcamp.com/office/staff.php for a complete list. We are also very pleased that we are approximately 95% staffed to date and are actively interviewing candidates to fill our few remaining positions.

New Swimming Pool: This fall we built a brand new pool on the same site and surrounded it with a beautiful new patio with outdoor pool furniture. We are very excited about the new pool facility and know our campers and staff will really enjoy it this summer.

Boys Annex: BA, which houses most of our boys entering the 8th and 9th grades, has enjoyed a complete renovation for the summer of 2010. The new camper rooms feature newly designed built-in bunk beds, each equipped with their own electrical outlets, and spacious cubbies for clothing and personal items. There are also new windows, doors and ventilation with improved airflow. A new Guidance Counselor room has also been built, as well as a new outdoor community deck.

CCUSA Spirit Award: We are extremely honored to have received the highly regarded Camp Counselors USA Spirit Award. This award is given to the camp that goes the "extra mile" for their international staff. CCUSA staff and Buck's Rock staff sponsored by CCUSA have selected Buck's Rock to receive this award based on their experiences while visiting or working at camp.

Rehearsal Stage and Set: The Rehearsal Stage behind the Summer Theater will enjoy coverage similar to the Summer Theater, making it weather proof and also defining the performance space. Actors and audience members alike will appreciate this significant enhancement: a beautiful oasis in the middle of the forest for Buck's Rock performers.

Also at the Summer Theater we will be adding more storage for theater set platforms, expanding the lighting and sound design booth and there will be some upgrades in the Costume Shop, as well.

Eco-Improvements: In our continued effort to be more eco-friendly we are adding yet another solar hot water system to our largest staff living area (The Hilton) and pool shower. The Kitchen system installed in 2009 significantly reduced the amount of oil consumed in that area. Additionally, in the Glass Studio we are planning to upgrade one of our large glory holes to increase its efficiency.

The Old Infirmary: The charming red house just before the Animal Farm, is also currently undergoing a renovation for staff housing. This old post and beam building is the oldest at Buck's Rock and was used as an infirmary/quarantine area during Buck's Rock's early years. After we centralized our Health Care facility to main camp, it served as staff accommodations and storage. In an effort to sustain part of Buck's Rock's history, we are making the Old Infirmary once again into useable space.

CIT Meeting: 2010 CITs should mark your calendars as we hope that you will be able to attend the CIT meeting that will take place in New York City at 11:00AM on Saturday, May 1st at the 92nd Street Y (1395 Lexington Avenue/92nd Street 212-415-5500).

Open House: Our Spring Open House will be held on Saturday, May 15 from 1pm to 4 pm (rain date is May 16). On that day, we will be offering tours of the camp and facilities and would be pleased to discuss our performing and creative arts program with any newly enrolled or prospective families. Please call us at 800-636-5218 to advise us if you plan to attend. Driving directions to camp can be obtained from our website at www.bucksrockcamp.com

Buck's Rock News: Congratulations to Ian Gittins and Alicia Brown on the arrival of their son Ethan James, December 23, 2009. Congratulations to Myq Kaplan who was on the Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien this past December doing a hilarious Stand-Up Comedy Routine. Congratulations to Andrew Lees who married Emily Pan in January; both will be joining us at Buck's Rock this summer. Congratulations to Ivan Rubenstein-Gillis and Sara Jacobs on the arrival of their son Jonah Jacobs Rubenstein Gillis born March 21st.

With so many wonderful returning and new staff and campers, exciting enhancements to the facility and program, the summer of 2010 is one not to be missed!

Looking forward to a great summer,

We were so pleased with the success of our Winter Art Exhibit at the prestigious Art Director's Club in NYC. The entire event was organized by Rick Price and many staff and parents who helped considerably. We are grateful to Rick and all the volunteers! There were over 400 pieces on exhibit representing over 300 different Buck's Rock artists: campers, staff and alumni. For those of you who were in attendance, we collectively witnessed an impressive array of art and enjoyed musical entertainment organized by Ivan Rubenstein-Gillis. It was, without a doubt, an extraordinary event and wonderful to bring a bit of Buck's Rock to NYC for friends and family of our community to enjoy!

The Art Show, of course, followed a very well attended annual Reunion where it was wonderful to see so many of you. Thank you for joining us that
day to reminisce and celebrate the summer of 2008. We look forward to seeing many of you back at Buck's Rock this summer.

If you were not able to attend the Exhibit or Reunion or want to "see" the exhibit again, please visit our website and open the leaf "community" and then "events". You can also go to it directly from this link: http://www.bucksrockcamp.com/artshowNYC/main.htm

On that day, we will be offering tours of the camp and facilities and would be pleased to discuss our performing and creative arts program with any newly enrolled or prospective families.

2008 marks an exciting moment in Buck’s Rock history, a moment many of us have talked about for many years. We are thrilled to announce that Sunday, December 7 will mark the opening day of the first (of hopefully many) Buck’s Rock Camp Gallery Exhibition in Manhattan.

The show will be held in New York City at the spacious Art Directors Club Gallery (www.adcglobal.org) at 106 West 29th St. The Gallery opening on December 7th will serve as our annual reunion, and the show will remain open to the public until Saturday 13th, so we encourage everyone to invite friends and family to come view the work.

The exhibition will showcase the artwork and performances of campers and staff from summer 2008, as well as the creations of staff and alumni stretching as far back in our 66 years as possible. This show will open the world of Buck’s Rock to everyone, providing a glimpse of the unique experience Buck’s Rock has provided all of us, and the effect our summers there have continued to have, even as we’ve grown older.

The opportunity for the sale of work will be an option for all, but not the focus of the show. Any interested buyers will be provided with contact information for the artist.

This summer we will be encouraging everyone to create work for the show. We will also be looking for staff and campers who might be available in the fall to volunteer and help us make this show a great success.

We are so very excited to be bringing you this news, and can’t wait to see the amazing collection of work that will make up the show. For more information, please contact Rick Price at rick@bucksrockcamp.com, or just come to camp this summer and create work for this exciting and historical event!

We also are adding solar collectors to our hot water system in the Kitchen and Dining Room.

Our dedication to reducing our waste and use of styrofoam will again continue this summer with biodegradable plates and trays. These products are still extremely costly, yet we feel very strongly about using as little styrofoam as possible. As in 2007, we will continue to use metal cutlery instead of plastic in the Dining Room.

We are committed to continuing to implement these eco-friendly systems to areas in camp where we can.
