Upper East Side Moms Panic as 'Vomit Apocalypse' Hits Elite Camps

Parents who shelled out tens of thousands of dollars to send their children to camp this summer received shocking news from the front this week — several pricey sleepaway spots in the Poconos and Catskills were spiraling after a nasty stomach bug swept through the secluded sites, sending kiddies and counselors legging it to the latrines.

Families routinely spend roughly $19,000 per child, per year, for seven weeks of waterskiing, lifelong friendships, and championship games. But nobody budgets for projectile vomiting. The final two weeks each summer are supposed to be about color war — not sanitation wars.

Frustrated parents who spoke to The Post anonymously, allege the outbreak began at Tyler Hill, a 7-week-long camp in Wayne County, Pa., shortly after visiting day in mid-July.
