Thousands of families are heading to the Catskills today for the second visiting day of summer 2014. All drivers are urged to leave ample time for traveling. Drivers are encouraged to follow posted speed limits, as State Police troopers are on patrol on the highways. The troopers sit with their radar guns, and drivers who do not follow the reduced speed-limits in certain zones will be ticketed.
Matzav.com would like to remind its readers to help Catskills Hatzalah, which needs our help to continue its lifesaving work. Checks can be made payable to Catskills Hatzalah and mailed to POB 50, Monticello, NY 12701.
Wishing everyone a safe and enjoyable visiting day.

I stopped doing it years ago. If you are in a bungelow already, that’s one thing. But to shlep all the way from the City?! FOOL!
You send ur kid to sleep away camp, you have NO choice but to come spend the day with them. See how they are doing, how they are feeling etc… It’s part of the package!!! No matter what age.
I wonder why the same picture every year ?
Visiting day was invented to tip
The staff so that the owners who are making huge sums if money do not have have to pay staff . It also justifies charging waiters and waitresses to work in their camp , through getting tipped.
