COVID-19 Parents
Dear Cedarbrook Day Camp Families,
The global status of the Coronavirus is changing daily, and Cedarbrook Day Camp is continuously listening to guidance from local, state, and federal agencies to respond appropriately. Currently, Cedarbrook will continue as planned to open 2020. We are busy planning for campers a amazing summer experience.
In light of the ongoing attention given to the virus, we want to assure you that we are taking this situation seriously and that the health and safety of our campers, camper families, and staff members remains our top priority.
We are busy planning, and implementing government recommended health initiatives for campers in 2020. The "New Normal". We are working hard to keep our camp community healthy and safe, so we can continue to share with campers an amazing summer experience and wonderful memories.
CDC, FEMA have created a plan to reopen America (Washington Post):
The plan lays out three phases: Preparing the nation to reopen with a national communication campaign and community readiness assessment until May 1. Then, the effort through May 15 would involve ramping up manufacturing of testing kits and personal protective equipment and increasing emergency funding. Then staged reopenings would begin, depending on local conditions. The plan does not give dates for reopenings but specified “not before May 1.”
The first priority, according to the CDC response document, is to “reopen community settings where children are cared for, including K-12 schools, daycares, and locally attended summer camps, to allow the workforce to return to work. Other community settings will follow with careful monitoring for increased transmission that exceeds the public health and health care systems.”
Again, we understand that we are currently in a very fluid situation and will update you as we receive updated information. We are working to increase our health standards this summer to go above and beyond what has been recommended. Please use the Cedarbrook web site as a resource, as we will be updating the often. See Corvid- 19 Q&A link.
Over 20+ summers, we have been faced with different obstacles and have always gone above and beyond to meet the challenges set before us. Our goal is and has always been to maintain the health of our campers, camper families, and staff to make sure we are creating lifelong memories. We plan to continue these traditions.
These are unprecedented times with a global pandemic our generation has never before seen. We appreciate your patience as we do our best to navigate these uncharted waters. Please, if you have any questions or concerns, do not hesitate to reach out to us.
We Are Many, We Are One
