COVID-19 and Summer Camp as of April 1st, 2020. The hard question that we need to be asking in April 2020.This question is a definite punch in the gut.
However, as the COVID-19 situation evolves, we need to consider the very real possibility that we may not see a summer of camp until 2020.
It sucks. A lot, but if we think of this in the sphere of things we can and things we can’t control, things become a little clearer.
We may not have control over if the summer of 2020 runs, but we do have some control over if camp will survive in the long-run.
Tune in to this episode to hear Gabz, Travis and Joe discuss
In this emergency episode, we discuss:
What should camp professionals be considering and planning for when there is this much uncertainty in the camp world.What are the practical things we need to consider if there is no spring/summer 2020?If camp doesn’t run in 2020, what can we do to help camp survive and thrive in 2021?Hint: You probably shouldn’t be relying on the fund you would get from not refunding people’s camp fees or differing them until next summer.How to preserve the institutional memory of how camp runs if you’re going to miss a summer.How to support your community amidst what will surely be devastating news.-
