Zaslav Makes $68M Bid to Save Mohawk Day Camp

Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav, via Grandview Ventures, has submitted a $68 million stalking-horse bid to acquire Mohawk Day Camp and Mohawk Country Day School in Westchester County, NY, whose holding company filed Chapter 11; the offer covers assets including about 39 acres, a $250,000 playground and a performing arts center and will be tested at an auction with an August 28 deadline, carrying a $2 million breakup fee and up to $680,000 in expense reimbursement. Zaslav says the investment is a personal family matter, not an operational venture, with his own children having attended Mohawk in the past.
