much lower numbers of kids attend camp and many camps are outside. Also, school is over end of June, a lot of the problem with opening schools was that there just wasn't enough time to implement safety measures. [ Reply | More

This. They knew that the level of infection was likely to be low enough by June to open schools with safety measures in place, but there just wasn't enough time left in the year. UK opened schools because they go until mid-July so it was worth it as far as having a significant amount of learning time left [ Reply | More

I think the CDC had released guidelines. They are thorough and expensive to implement, so it's unlikely that every day camp will be willing or able to do it [ Reply | More

we've had 11 weeks to teach the kids to wear masks and distance from each other. It's not risk-free, but it's better than schools were in March. [ Reply | More

The reality is that schools will be no safer in Sept than camps will be in June/July. So either we leave "confinement" and try to live our lives with a new normal or we commit to staying inside for a very, very long time. I will likely send my kids to camp and will definitely send them back to school in September. [ Reply | More

I think the difference is that a lot of camp is outdoors which is much safer and easier to space kids out. He also said that while day camp is approved, they are still reviewing the guidelines. [ Reply | More

many camps decided to close. and a number have been making plans per CDC guidelines and discussions with experts, shared those plans, and were waiting for the OK. it will be a very different experience with many restrictions, sounds like more staff. plenty of HS and College students around to fill those jobs.

our day camp sent out 20 page handbook last week. masks and temperature checks on bus. handwashing before every activity. no backpacks. camp laundry service for bathsuits. everyone has a cubby where their stuff goes. all staff wears maks all day- type depends on how many different groups they interact with. kids stay in a pod of 8 campers and 2 counselors. and they have a huge outdoor space.
