End of Summer At Morry's Camp

Young people from urban areas of New York and Connecticut enjoyed the fun-filled and supportive environment of Morry’s Camp, a nonprofit, year-round youth development organization that provides inner-city youngsters with free four-week residential camp experiences in Glen Spey, New York and programs throughout the school year. Campers return home with a feeling of accomplishment, having developed goals and gained the skills they need to succeed in school and in their community.
Morry’s Campers had fun singing around campfires, hiking in the woods, learning to swim. playing musical instruments, cooking and attending nutrition classes, reading and writing during their stay in the wooded surroundings of the Catskills. In addition, the strong educational component of all Morry’s Camp programs better prepares youngsters to return to school in the fall. Monthly meetings throughout the school year offer continued support by Morry’s Camp staff.
Established in 1996, Morry’s Camp continues the vision and values of Morry Stein, an icon in the camping world whose life was taken in the crash of American Eagle Flight 4184 in October 1994. Inspired by Morry’s dream to make summer camp available to all children, regardless of their economic status, Morry’s friends, colleagues and family created Morry’s Camp, a nonprofit youth development organization.
Over 300 children from New York and Connecticut leave their urban homes each summer to enjoy camp adventures and benefit from supportive programs throughout the year.
