The 92nd Street Y Camps season starts today and counselors are certain to have their hands full. Our committed and caring counselors, who nurture each camper’s individual needs and talents, reflect the quality of excellence of 92nd Street Y camps. Tom Allon, president and CEO of Manhattan Media—which owns local newspapers Our Town, New York Press, City Hall, The West Side Spirit, Chelsea Clinton News and The Westsider, as well as Avenue and New York Family magazines—was a counselor at Camp Yomi in the summer of 1982 and his two daughters and son attended Yomi for several years.
Just in time for summer, Tom offers a delicious cold soup for you and your hungry campers.
