A nonprofit day camp on Long Island now wants to offer glamping for adults and families. But residents of the area are saying 'not so fast.'
Other issues people cited include guests drinking, smoking, and illegal campfires. "It's like camp for families or camp for adults," Usdan executive director Lauren Brandt Schloss said.
No living trees would be cut during the construction, according to Usdan's proposal. Additionally, 24-hour security and fencing would be installed. Officials said the money raised would go towards scholarship funds for summer arts students. And the majority of families taking part would be affiliated with Usdan looking for overnight arts experiences.
"Someone is unlikely to spend $500 to 600 to then trespass into the neighborhood," Usdan chief operating officer Joe Levy said.
