Dear Takoma Sportscamps Families,
I am sorry to inform you about disappointing news regarding camp for Summer 2022. I am unable to secure a location for camp this summer. It's very frustrating. I looked forward to bringing our camp community together again.
After starting the process of applying in early January to rent the school, I was told applications were not accepted yet due to Covid. In February I was told a "new and improved" system would be ready for rental applications on February 22, 2022. I reapplied and was informed that the site is not working, and that I cannot apply until May 1, 2022. For planning purposes this date is too late.
I regret the disappointment and inconvenience this causes the Takoma Sportscamps families. I hope the system is functioning in a way that allos us to return to camp in Summer 2023. I miss camp.
-Thanks, Louis
