IMPORTANT INFORMATION
5/25/2020- Governor Coumo announced the re-opening of all campgrounds throughout NYS. Campgrounds will still be required to follow social distancing, mask use, COVID19 sanitizing, health department and CDC regulations.
Studies have shown that the Coronavirus can live on surfaces and is airborne, and while we will be cleaning our facilities much more frequently, contamination still remains a risk in public areas. It is recommended that you wipe down door knobs, dog park gates and other surfaces with a disinfecting wipe before you touch them. Tall Pines Enterprises in Bainbridge, NY (“Tall Pines”) has put in place preventative measures to reduce the spread of COVID-19; however, Tall Pines cannot guarantee that you, your child(ren) or guests will not become infected with COVID-19. Further, camping at Tall Pines could increase your risk and your child(ren)’s risk of contracting COVID-19. By completing your online registration, you acknowledge the contagious nature of COVID-19 and voluntarily assume the risk that you or your child(ren) may be exposed to or infected by COVID-19 by camping at Tall Pines and that such exposure or infection may result in personal injury, illness, permanent disability, and death. Registered guests and their visitors understand that the risk of becoming exposed to or infected by COVID-19 at Tall Pines may result from the actions, omissions, or negligence of themselves or others, including, but not limited to, Tall Pines employees, volunteers, and program participants and their families. You voluntarily agree to assume all of the foregoing risks and accept sole responsibility for any injury to your child(ren) or yourself (including, but not limited to, personal injury, disability, and death), illness, damage, loss, claim, liability, or expense, of any kind, that you or your child(ren) may experience or incur in connection with Tall Pines. By registering you agree on your behalf, and on behalf of your children, that you hereby release, covenant not to sue, discharge, and hold harmless Tall Pines, its employees, agents, and representatives, of and from all liabilities, claims, actions, damages, costs or expenses of any kind arising out of or relating thereto.

Go Outside! Stay Healthy!
- Fresh air can help fight off disease.
- Simply just looking at trees reduces blood pressure.
- Spending time in nature can help you focus.
- You can recover faster from a surgery or illness with a green view.
- Camping improves your mood!
It’s true – according to the New York State Department of Environmental Conversation, studies have shown that simply being outdoors can help boost your immune system, lower blood pressure, help reduce stress and improve your mood, increase your ability to focus (even in children with ADHD), accelerate recovery after a surgery or illness, increase energy levels and help improve sleep!
When we breathe in a nice huge breath of fresh air, we breath in what’s known as “pytoncides“, which are airborne chemicals that plants give off to help protect themselves from insects.
These chemicals have antibacterial and antifungal qualities that also help plants fight disease. When humans breathe in these chemicals, our bodies respond by increasing the activity of a type of white blood cell called a natural killer cell, which helps kill other tumor- and virus-infected cells in our bodies, including contagions such as the Coronavirus.
We are Family here… and so are you!
