SUMMER DAY CAMPS: CARING FOR THE WHOLE CHILD

Summer Day camps at the Y are about one thing: they’re about discovery. Kids have the opportunity to explore nature, find new talents, try new activities, gain independence, and make lasting friendships and memories. And, of course, it’s fun too.

If a child or staff member is diagnosed with Covid-19, all participants will be notified. Parent or guardians may then choose to either pick up their camper, or to let the camper remain and trust the camp to take appropriate safeguards, when informed by the camp operator that a child at camp has tested positive for COVID-19. There are enhanced risks of campers being in direct contact with anyone age 65 or older for 14 days after the end of the camp session.
