It's been more than two months since Tropical Storm Irene. The weather event was much worse than staff at the Frost Valley YMCA expected. As our Beth Croughan tells us, the camp in the Catskills is still dealing with the aftermath.

SULLIVAN COUNTY, N.Y. -- A camper holds a bake sale in Brooklyn and another donates the last two dollars in his wallet. 'He literally sent everything he has, so that we could restore our programs. I think it's a touching story but I think it tells the story of how important camp is to so many children," said Jerry Huncosky, the CEO of the Frost Valley YMCA.

The Frost Valley YMCA is a camp in the Catskills. Staff serve as many as 38,000 people year-round. But this summer, the camp suffered extreme damage from Tropical Storm Irene. Water wipes away roads and bridges and the Biscuit Creek carves a new path through the property. That caused a two-story building to fall into the stream.

"That was a building that held 40 beds. So just in the summer program, that's 40 beds over four sessions, so 160 children that won't have a camp experience unless we get the building rebuilt by July," he said.

Access to the camp was completely cut off during the storm. A large crater is carved in the road near Big Indian and the water washed out sections of the road here in Denning. But since the storm crews have been able to rebuild and repair the entrance from the Sullivan County side.

"Well we're back now, we're fully operational minus one building and of course the small program that I mentioned with the bridge loss. But other than that, we're back. I think for the most part unless you really look around and you see some caution tape or you see a little bit of damage, most people don't even realize how hard we were hit. We were able to put things back together fairly quickly," said Huncosky.

Although the camp is up and running, the not-for-profit faces a more than million dollar repair bill. And Huncosky estimates they lost about $350,000 in revenue when the roads were closed. He said none of their losses are covered by insurance.

Since the storm, the camp has raised about $225,000. For more information on Frost Valley's relief fund, visit FrostValley.org.
