Following his coaching career, Polansky purchased Camp Kent, a summer camp located in Kent, Connecticut, and owned and directed the camp until it closed in 1982. In the decades following its closing, the Camp Kent community remained particularly close-knit, holding frequent reunions and maintaining life long friendships. In the social media era, the Camp Kent alumni community is more closely connected than ever, holding even more frequent outings and reunions. (en)
