Thompson, NY - The famed Kutsher's Sports Academy is moving from Sullivan County, and an Orthodox Jewish group has signed a five-year lease to hold summer camp on the sports academy's site.

Its site will be taken over by Camp Rov Tov, a summer camp affiliated with a Satmar Jewish private school in Williamsburg, Brooklyn.
Moishe Indig, a community leader there, said the group has signed a 5-year lease on the property. Owner Mark Kutsher did not return telephone calls.

The land is unlikely to be tax-free, town assessor Nora Hughson said, because the camp does not own it.

Camp Rov Tov, which caters to boys between the ages of 8 and 13, was formerly based in Livingston Manor. Because most of the campers' parents stay in Fallsburg, Liberty and Monticello, Indig said the new location is ideal.
"It's a very beautiful place for the summertime, and the children will be closer to their parents," he said.

The new campsite includes a 225-acre lake, new bunks, and a 15,000-square-foot lodge. It was home to camps and resorts in the past. [Record]
