Safety will be a priority as small groups of campers will follow protocols and guidelines in a largely outdoor environment. For safety, start and end times will be staggered, temperatures will be taken daily and campers will need to fill out a daily health screening. Based on the latest CDC and NYS Department of Health guidance, small groups of campers will stay together all day, masks will be worn and social distancing will be enforced.

Intermediate campers are placed in small groups based on age/grade with approximately 15 campers in each. Each group has 3 counselors and is supported by the intermediate camp division leader.
