Parents could face a long summer stuck at home with their kids as camps across the US wait to see if they'll be allowed to open
Two crossed lines that form an 'X'. It indicates a way to close an interaction, or dismiss a notification.The CDC recently released a framework to help summer camps decide if and how they can reopen during the coronavirus pandemic, but many camps are still waiting for critical guidance from local and state officials.
One family we talked to improvised a solution: enrolling their kids in an online camp and planning outdoor activities they can do together.After nearly two months of quarantine during the coronavirus pandemic, kids across the country are eager to get outside for summer. But for more than The American Camp Association, the only organization that accredits camps with national standards of health and safety, has more than 3,100 summer camps under its umbrella. This year, the organization is operating as an educational resource for camps more than ever, providing camp directors with information about COVID-19 and guidance on what protocols to implement.
"We have to answer the question, should we open our summer camps? Can we ethically and safely open our summer camps? And that is an open question right now," Cohen said. Ramah camps also rely on a large portion of international employees, and even if camps open, many staff members would not be able to travel to the US unless travel restrictions were lifted.
"We try to include people from all socioeconomic backgrounds, we have these Tikvah programs for children and young adults with all sorts of developmental disabilities," Cohen said. "We're very proud of how inclusive we are."
