OASIS in CENTRAL PARK

Last Day of Camp!!

2009-08-20T12:29:00.000-07:00

I can't believe that these 8 weeks have flown by so quickly! What an amazing time we have had, and I know it will be hard to say goodbye to all those beautiful faces!
We hope that parents can join us for our closing ceremonies tomorrow from 2p-3p. This will also give you a chance to witness the Oasis Spirit first hand. Afterwards, enjoy refreshments while campers sign each others shirts and say goodbye to staff. You can take your camper home early if you like.
Location of slide show: PS 84 Auditorium: 32 West 92nd Street btwn Central Park West and Columbus.

Hope to see you tomorrow!
Marissa

End of Summer Event- August 21st

2009-08-11T11:31:00.001-07:00

Hi Di Hi Oasis Families!
We here at Oasis in Central Park have had such an amazing Summer 2009! We can’t believe there are just 8 days left of camp! One of our traditions here is an end of summer slide show where our campers get to enjoy all of the photos taken throughout the 8 weeks of camp, along with songs, cheers, and one last chance to say goodbye to an awesome summer.
We would like to invite all Summer 2009 campers and families to attend on Friday, August 21st, from 2:00pm to 3:00pm in the auditorium at P.S. 84 (32 W 92nd Street). This is a chance for parents to see what great fun their campers have had this summer, meet other parents to arrange those play dates, and say goodbye to their Oasis in Central Park staff. Division Leaders will be on hand so you can also sign your camper out after the show.
If you are interested in attending, RSVP to centralpark@oasischildren.com
Thank you again and we look forward to seeing you soon!

Regards,
Oasis in Central Park

Opportunity to SAVE for Summer 2010!

2009-08-11T11:24:00.000-07:00

Hi Di Hi Oasis In Central Park Families!
We here at Oasis in Central Park wanted to thank you for making this another wonderful summer. Though some of you have left, some of you will be leaving us soon, and still other members of our family will be with us until August 21, we wanted to make sure that everyone was aware of the fantastic registration program we have in place for the Summer of 2010.

We recognize that this economic environment has proven to be exceedingly difficult for many of our families. Therefore, we have decided to provide a way for each of you to return to Oasis next summer with no increase in cost. If you place a deposit of $300 per child by August 31st, we will hold your space for next summer at THIS SUMMER’S RETURNING CAMPER DISCOUNT RATE. You need not worry about choosing how many or which weeks at this point. Our only goal is to provide an opportunity for each of our returning families to be with us next summer. And if your plans change, the deposit is fully refundable through May 28, 2010.

Our staff is available to answer any questions or provide forms during normal office hours (8:00a-5:00p), or during our end of summer event at PS 84 on August 21st.
We hope that the remainder of your summer is safe and enjoyable, and that we see you back at Oasis in Central Park next summer. For details on this program or to extend your summer stay please contact our office at 646-698-1800.

Regards,Oasis in Central Park

Oasis in Central Park Updates

2009-07-31T08:07:00.000-07:00

Hi Di Hi Oasis in Central Park Families!
With so many great moments, fantastic stories, and new friendships, it's hard to believe there are only 3 weeks left of camp! As campers start to depart for family vacations and our groups decrease in size, we at Oasis in Central Park wanted to keep you up to date on any changes you may see.
· Grouping: with a decrease in campers, we will be condensing groups. Existing campers will stay with their current group members, but will have an addition of campers to their groups. Because of this, we have renamed our groups to avoid confusion. You will be receiving a separate communication specific to your camper's grouping.
· Staff: we have several staff members who will be departing for college orientations and move-ins, and we wish them much academic success. We will maintain our staff to camper ratio, however, some of our staff members may need to transition to another group.
· Contact Info: with the condensing of groups, you may have a new point of contact for any needs. This will be communicated to you in a phone call, so please be sure to check those messages!

We look forward to 3 more weeks of exciting activities, laughter, and friendships. Please remember to contact our Central Park Office if you are interested in our Extension Week August 24th-28th at (646) 698-1800. As always, please feel free to call or email us with any questions.

Thank You!
Marissa (917-528-6299) and Kate (646) 639-3684
