It's the opening of another season today for Camp Good Days and Special Times.
This year, organizers of the camp - which provides support to kids and adults with cancer - are hoping to avoid the flooding issues they had to deal with last summer.
Chairman and founder Gary Mervis said engineers have shored up the area around the creek that runs through the camp and so far, that seems to be working.
"Last week, I think it was, they had some bad rain and some of Penn Yan flooded again, and we didn't suffer any damage, so we really think the problem has been corrected," Mervis said.
The repairs to the lower camp from 2014 flood damage, and the installation of a barrier wall around the creek have cost Camp Good Days approximately $700,000.
Nearly 1,500 campers are expected this summer. This week, it's a group of children whose parents have been diagnosed with either cancer or sickle cell anemia.
