How will the camp program adhere to social distancing?
(A) Campers will “travel” with their group and enjoy their daily activities. Large gatherings will be limited and thoughtfully programmed. Activities will be structured to accommodate smaller groups and a number of locations will be available to avoid congestion in the lunch tent.

What will be the camper to counselor ratio?

What is the protocol should a camper or staff member come down with Covid-19?
