Thousands of families have headed to the Catskills today for the final visiting day of summer 2019.
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.
A handful of camps cancelled their visiting day because of alleged traffic related to the Woodstock festival. However, most camps left visiting day in place, for askonim familiar with the situation stated that traffic will not be significantly different than on an average summer visiting day Sunday.

Visiting day should be abolished by all camps. Besides being extremely difficult for the parents most important it is terrible for the kids and any mechanech would tell u it is terrible for the kids and should be cancelled.
Okay fine. I happen to agree with you. Camps should start paying their staff members a living wage and not have to rely on tips to make it through the summer.
