COVID-19 update: To ensure the safety of participants, families, and staff, we will implement measures that include smaller camp groups, daily screenings, and increased cleaning and sanitation. Masks will be required, and campers will sit at least six feet apart when they remove masks for lunch and snack. Programs will take place entirely outdoors, though campers will shelter indoors (with more than six feet of distancing) should unsafe weather conditions arise. We will adhere to all MCDC recommendations and guidelines for camps and schools, as well as guidance from the American Camp Association. If your child or a member of your household is at higher risk for complications related to COVID-19, please speak with your healthcare provider to determine if attending camp is the right choice for your family.
