Summer Camp Health and Safety Information 

The Recreation and Parks Department is committed to offering safe, high quality, and enjoyable in-person camp programming this summer. The health and safety of all camp participants, staff, and their families remains our paramount goal. The structure and  operations of all 2021 summer camps have been adjusted in an effort to achieve and maintain the highest levels of health and safety while offering the most enjoyable camp experience possible. These revised structures and operations ensure compliance with all state and local health and safety guidelines. 

 Among the health and safety practices adopted for our summer camp programs are enrollment maximums which ensure the maintenance of social distancing, the wearing of masks/face coverings by all campers and staff when indoors, and thorough cleaning of all camp spaces and equipment. Changes to these practices and policies may occur to ensure both the highest level of safety for all participants and compliance with all mandated guidelines and requirements.
