To help tens of thousands of camps in the United States get ready for the summer season, the American Camp Association (ACA) and the YMCA issued detailed guidelines, recommending extensive safety measures in response to the pandemic.
“Given the months of sheltering in place and the countless hours children have logged on screens during this time, the social-emotional benefits camp can provide are even more crucial to the nation’s children now,” Tom Rosenberg, president and CEO of the ACA, said in a press release. “This summer, more than ever, children need camp.”
