Dear RDC Friends,

Though an idyllic escape from the real world for generations, Rockywold-Deephaven is not immune to real world challenges. Along with other communities and businesses across the country, RDC is actively planning for the possible continued spread of COVID-19 so we can best protect the health of our staff, guests, and Camp itself.

What the new coronavirus will bring in the coming months is unclear.  As such, with national, regional, and local public health experts as our guides—including the World Health Organization,  Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, NH Health and Human Services, New Hampshire Lodging & Restaurant Association, and others—we’re planning for a variety of scenarios. Each one places health and safety above all else.

We understand the unease that comes with uncertainty so we have updated our cancellation policy to allow cancellations up to May 31 with no penalty.  We will take further review of our additional cancellation policies in the coming weeks and are continuing to develop policies for the 2020 season.  Please know that both the staff and board of directors have the situation in sharp focus, and will keep you updated regularly on the RDC website as plans unfold.

We hope you and your family are healthy, and that we see you up at the lake soon.

Regards,

Kathy Wheeler, RDC General Manager
Tucker Richmond, President RDC Board of Directors
