registration for the 2022 DEC Summer Camp season is being postponed from
Sunday, March 6, as previously announced, to Sunday, April 10, 2022 at 1 p.m.
In addition, due to current
staffing challenges, this summer's camp program offerings have changed.
Camp Rushford and Pack Forest will open for a seven-week season. DEC may
open registrations for Camp DeBruce if
additional staff become available this spring. Camp Colby will remain
closed until 2023 to complete major renovations to the camp.

Facebook page, and the Summer Camps Facebook page. Campers and
camp families can contact EducationCamps@dec.ny.gov with any
questions.

life-long passion for nature and a dedication to environmental stewardship.
Employment at camp begins in mid-June and ends mid-August, and all
positions include room and board. Visit DEC's website to learn more about the qualifications and opportunities as a DEC camps staff
