Dobbs Ferry Fall Newsletter 2022

Hi Dee Hi and Happy Fall Dobbs Ferry Families,

Another summer has gone to fast; memories have been made and we are now settling back into the routine of school. We hope everyone had a smooth transition and is o to a great start! As the colder weather approaches, we think back to those hot summer days and we are extremely grateful for the sta who worked long hours to make it a great summer, for our campers whose smiles and energy kept us going all day and for our camp families who trusted us with their children. IT WAS A SUMMER TO NEVER FORGET!

As much as we love summer, the fall weather signals the holidays that come with it! We wanted to share some of my favorite cra#s with you and hope you enjoy family time making
them!
