ICYMI: Wheatley Heights' Usdan Withdraws Glamping Application

WHEATLEY HEIGHTS, NY — Usdan Summer Camp for the Arts has withdrawn its application for 70 glamping units, according to the Town of Huntington.

Usdan aimed to build 70 units for camping and "glamping" on its 141-acre property bordering Melville and Wheatley Heights. However, pushback from the community has convinced Usdan to withdraw its proposal of glamorous camping units, according to the camp.

"After much thought & reflection, Usdan Summer Camp for the Arts has decided to withdraw its application for a special use permit, which would have allowed for 'glamping' within the woods of the campus," Usdan Executive Director Lauren Brandt Schloss stated. "Ultimately, it's more important for us to preserve our 55-year relationship with the neighboring communities. Usdan provides and will continue to provide an immersive and transformational arts experience for all."
