Camp and Pool Forum, Saturday, November 4, 2017 at 10 am

By

Ancram is proud of its camp and pool programs, and we are always looking for ways to make what’s good even better.

To that end, we invite you to a Camp and Pool Forum—a conversation among parents, grandparents, camp and pool staff, camp and pool board members, town board members, and anyone else interested in the camp and pool programs.

The Forum will be held in Town Hall on Saturday, November 4, 2017 at 10 am.

Plan to join us to share your views on what is wonderful about the camp and pool programs, what you think can be improved, and your ideas for new summer activities for the kids.

If you can’t make it on November 4 but have some thoughts and ideas to share, please email them to me at abassin@aol.com. .

We look forward to seeing you on November 4, or hearing from you by email.

Pool Fee Update

By

EFFECTIVE AUGUST 1, THERE WILL BE A CHARGE FOR NON-ANCRAM SWIMMERS TO USE THE ANCRAM POOL.

A FAMILY PASS FOR THE REST OF THE SEASON FOR NON-ANCRAM FAMILIES WILL BE $25.

IF YOU DECIDE NOT TO BUY THE SEASON PASS, THE FEE WILL BE $3 PER SWIMMER PER DAY.

ALL RESIDENTS OR PROPERTY OWNERS IN ANCRAM AND THE PORTION OF GALLATIN IN THE ANCRAM FIRE DISTRICT WILL STILL “SWIM FREE”, BUT YOU WILL NEED TO GET A SEASON “SWIM PASS” AT THE POOL.

WE ARE SORRY TO HAVE TO CHARGE A FEE FOR NON-ANCRAM SWIMMERS, BUT THE NUMBER OF NON-ANCRAM SWIMMERS HAS REQUIRED US TO HIRE MORE LIFEGUARDS, AND INCUR MORE POOL WATER MAINTENANCE COSTS.

SEASON POOL PASSES ARE AVAILABLE NOW AT THE POOL, FREE FOR ANCRAM SWIMMERS AND FAMILIES WITH KIDS SIGNED UP FOR THE ANCRAM KIDS CAMP, AND AT $25 FOR NON-ANCRAM FAMILIES.
