NYSCDA Protecting New York's Camps for over 50 years!

Accomplishments


A look back…

For over half a century, NYSCDA has been confronted with a wide range of issues coming out of Albany that have affected camps.

Our record of dealing with these issues and finding solutions has been quite remarkable…

  • accomplishments_nyscdaThe NY State Children’s Safety Group – Was established in 1991 by NYSCDA and the AM Skier Agency to reduce the costs of Workers Compensation premiums of its members. Through discounts and dividends, and by promoting and practicing high standards for health and safety, NYSCDA members have literally saved several millions of dollars since its inception
  • SUTA – For decades, camps were paying state unemployment taxes on high school & college students that were not eligible to receive unemployment benefits! NYSCDA waged a hard fought battle to correct this unfair practice on behalf of the state and WON! The savings to NY’s camps has been and remains substantial to say the least! Every camp in NY State saves hundreds/thousands of dollars annually due to this huge victory by NYSCDA.
  • NYCAMP – Our political Action Committee (PAC) was formed to effectively provide us with another layer of access to key state legislations and regulatory issues.
