•	Old Business
o	Registration update – Early Bird ended today and we currently have 100 Regular Campers and 18 Teen Travel for a total of 118 registrations. Regular registration and NonResident Registration begins tomorrow, 3/11.
o	Open House events happened this week on zoom – well attended. Travis did an excellent job presenting and parents asked lots of good questions.
o	Travis and Meg decided on the Remind App for communication to parents throughout the season; Debby will work on setting that up.
o	Hiring continues: all grade level supervisors have been hired as well as Arts & Crafts Director, Clerical, and Swim Instructor positions. Need to train a lifeguard as a junior swim instructor. 
•	Tennis Sub-Committee presented current updates on the Tennis Courts and discussed adding camp usage hours to the next newsletter with the listing of attendant hours. Camp will not have set hours as of now – but will get preference from 11 to 4 when there is no attendant at the courts.
•	New Business
o	Applicant pool is generally very low, likely because of camp being closed last year and many people found other positions to return to. We really need more counselors to apply, so spread the word. Debby and Steve will check with office if we have already reached out to the local High Schools / Votech for applicants.
o	Nature position – we may have an applicant for this position.
o	Update on buses – we have two bids in and waiting on third – costs seem to be in line with previous years – challenge may be Covid related restrictions but we will not know what they are until we get closer to the camp season.
o	We are still looking for a new EMT/Nurse for camp – we have reached out to the local Fire House and local school district. We will be expanding our search in coming weeks if we do not find a candidate.
o	Charlie and Hannah brought up a great suggestion for additional space for rain days if we have Covid restrictions – they will be checking with the White Meadow Temple on potential of renting space if needed. Update for next month.
o	Gov Murphy’s announcement that sleepaway camps may resume is good news for us as it signals limited restrictions for day camps, but we still don’t know for sure.
