Island Lakers are Everywhere

Island Lake Activities

One of the best things about being an Island Laker is you never know who you will run into and where! Sydney Shulman and Annabelle Fine ended up competing against each other in a cheerleading competition. This led to a spontaneous sleepover at Sydney’s house!

While vacationing in Cancun with his family, Matt & Lily Stoltz ran into the Curtis family! They were all staying at the same resort! Jordan and Lily had a great time playing in the pool together as you can see from this photo.

Island Lakers are everywhere so keep your eyes open!

Less then 65 Days Left

With 65 days until Island Lake opens, we are getting closer and closer to being surrounded by the sounds of happy campers everywhere! Spring has finally come to the northeast after a relentless winter and the Island Lake staff is busy coming up with great new things for this summer. First session will bring Tribals, something new to Island Lake. For two days we are going to suspend activities and hold a four way team competition. This is not Color War nor meant to replace Color War. This is simply another idea that our staff has brought to us that will make your summer more special!

Our department heads are busy talking to their new staff members and our returning counselors are also giving them tons of advice. When we enter the chat rooms that they are all using on Facebook we see just how welcoming our veterans are to the new staff members and how helpful they are!

While just about every position is filled, Dustin and Trip are finding the right people to fill the last slots. Michael, Maciej, and Chris are at camp every day getting the facilities and equipment ready for the summer. Wendy and Matt are busy talking to parents and learning as much about our new campers as they can.

Spring is in the air, camp is around the corner, and it’s a great time of year to be an Island Laker!

April Parent News

Hey ILC Parents… Wow, how did April sneak up on us so quickly? With spring in the air, excitement is building for summer 2013 right around the corner! Yay! As of around June 1st all correspondence should go to our summer address where we will be busy preparing for your children’s arrival on June 22nd (once again, Yay!).

If your child is already enrolled for summer 2013, please be sure to fill out your profile and transportation forms either in your folder or to your right here on our website. Just click the “My ILC Login” link. Click on “First Time Users – Create Account”, then enter your email address. We recommend you change the password to one you will remember. If your child is a returning camper, we suggest you use the same password that you use to access our summer photos and send emails to your child. You will then have access to the profile and transportation forms. The medical form is not on our website so please be sure to fill out the one enclosed in your folder.

Have you registered your child for this upcoming summer? If not and you plan to do so, please, please, please do not put it off any longer. We truly do not want to turn away any of our devoted campers and it’s very difficult for us when forced to do so each and every year. Please don’t let that happen to your child. It only takes a few minutes to fill out the registration form and send it in to our NY office with a deposit. If you don’t have one handy, vist the “2013 Enrollment Page“.

As a reminder to all of our summer 2013 families, please be sure to read our monthly newsletters. The newsletters provide lots of information important to your child(ren)’s upcoming summer. Click here for our newsletter page. All summer 2013 families will also receive their very own hard copy of our monthly newsletter at the start of each month.

Well, that’s about it for now. Enjoy your navigation through our site checking out all of our fun-filled activities and smiling faces. Our camp offers a program that furthers your child’s growth, independence, and sense of decision-making while simultaneously giving them the responsibility to create their own exciting summer. To all current Island Lake families, we look forward to an amazing summer 2013 with your children.
