Calling all Scatico campers, staff, parents and alum, mark your calendars… Tuesday 11/10 is #camptshirtday!! For 10+ years, Camp T-Shirt Day has been a special day for the international camp community to celebrate camp and show some serious camp spirit. And this year at Scatico, we’re using it as an opportunity to support two fantastic Columbia County-based non-profits Kite’s Nest and Greater Hudson Promise Neighborhood.
Kite’s Nest is a center for liberatory education with the mission to build the collective capacity of young people to bring about personal transformation, social connection, healing, and systemic change. The Greater Hudson Promise Neighborhood works to create a chain of support for children and families in the community from cradle through career in order to break through the inter-generational cycle of poverty and help kids' reach their full potential.

Special Camp T-Shirt Day Virtual Event
Scatico is also a Community Partner for the 2020 Ann and Stephen Kaufman Jewish Book & Arts Festival, which features a special virtual fireside chat between New York Times bestselling author Iris Krasnow, who wrote Camp Girls: Fireside Lessons in Friendship, Courage and Loyalty, and Micah Hart, host of the podcast, Campfires and Color Wars .
Virtual tickets are $10, and the chat is on Tuesday, November 10 at 7:00 PM!
Organized by the JCC Houston, the event is also celebrating #camptshirtday and is collecting pictures of participants in their favorite camp t-shirt. You can email pictures to msteinberg@erjcchouston.org.
As the event website writes:
“For most of us 2020 was a summer without traditional camp – the special experiences, friendships and lessons learned at camp stay with those who participate throughout their lives. A nostalgic memoir with a universal message on the importance of long-term friendship for campers and non-campers alike, Camp Girls weaves between the past and present, and the joy of finding your independence as well as your interdependence alongside peers. Krasnow demonstrates that camp is more than a place or a collection of activities: it's where we learn what it means to be human and what it feels like to truly belong to a family - not of blood, but of history, loyalty, and tradition.”
