Origami Day: November 11th

Origami Day: November 11th

Nippon Origami Association has assigned November 11th as the National Origami Day.

Origami is the well-known art of folding paper into desired shapes. According to the NOA, origami first began in Japan around the time paper was introduced from China in the 7th century. It was originally used to help decorate places for religious rituals, but slowly evolved over the centuries into an aesthetic art form with multiple schools of disciple. These days, most consider true origami to be accomplished by using only folds, no cuts or pastes.

One of the most commonly folded and famous origami shapes is the paper crane. It is recognized, particularly in Japan, as a symbol of hope, peace, and longevity. One popular story depicting this symbolism is that of Sadako Sasaki. She was a young girl who suffered from leukemia caused by the radiation released by the Hiroshima atomic bomb at the end of World War II. The commonly told version of her story goes that she believed if she could fold 1,000 paper cranes she would be granted a wish. However, she passed away before accomplishing the feat. School children around the world still fold paper cranes in her honor.

Things you should know:

The Office of Parks, Recreation & Historic Preservation (OPRHP) operates camping areas in New York's state parks. Through the New York State Camping Reservation System, you may reserve space which will guarantee accommodations at any state camping area. Internet reservations can be made at newyorkstateparks.reserveamerica.com and phone reservations can be made by calling 1-800-456-CAMP (TTY:1-800-304-1265). While reservations are not required, they are highly recommended. You can also rent any available campsite, cabin or cottage as a "walkup" on a first-come, first-serve basis when you arrive ready to camp. Services, programs and facilities vary among campgrounds. Contact the park for current schedules.

Things you should know before you leave...

An adult, at least 18 years of age, (or 21) must be the permit holder and occupy the site for the full permit period.
Sites allow for no more than 6 people per site and 2 vehicles. A valid camping permit must be visible on all vehicles.
Check-in is at 3pm and check-out is by 11am. Occupants must register when they arrive.
Each site allows for either two (2) tents OR one (1) unit of hard wheeled camping equipment + one (1) tent.
If your campground allows pets please be respectful. Only 2 pets per site are permitted. Your pet must be kept on a leash at all times and the leash can be no longer than 6ft. Don't leave pets unattended and always pick up after them. Rabies certificate is required.
Firewood – Help protect our campgrounds and stop the spread of tree pests. If you bring firewood, burn all of it before leaving your campsite or purchase your wood at the campground or local sources. For more information;http://www.dec.ny.gov/animals/7253.html and http://www.dec.ny.gov/animals/28722.html.
Alcoholic Beverages - While alcoholic beverages are allowed in most NYS campgrounds without a permit, it is the responsibility of each camping party to comply with all laws and regulations. Stony Brook State Park, Wildwood State Park and Beaver Pond Campground restrict the use of alcohol and require a permit.
Upon discovering that a campsite or cabin occupant is a registered Level 2 or Level 3 sex offender, the Office is authorized to direct the occupant to leave the campground and may revoke the camping permit.

Things you should know when you get there...

Please do not injure the trees. No nails, screws, ropes or lines are permitted to be tied or inserted into trees, shrubs or other structures.
Quiet Hours: Your group must be quiet enough not to disturb your closest neighbor from 10 pm to 7am.
Generator Hours are 9am to 11am and 5pm to 9pm. If the use of a generator is deemed unreasonably loud by the facility staff, an individual's use of the generator may be limited and/or prohibited.
Fires must be contained in designated areas and always supervised by an adult.
Wash dishes at your campsite or in designated areas only. Dispose of gray water in designated areas. Water fountains are for drinking only.
Please keep the campground clean by keeping your campsite clean! Picnic tables and receptacle (if provided) must remain on site where you find them. Rubbish must be placed in trash bags and placed in proper receptacles. Excessive trash on campsites/cabins may result in fees charged to the permit holder.
Help keep the campground safe for everyone. Report any accidents/incidents immediately to park staff.

Please keep in mind that each campground may have its own specific rules in addition to the above.
