We have now completed five very enjoyable preteen camps. After one camp, we had a number of campers and staff members test positive. We are extremely grateful that most had no or only minor symptoms, and no one needed to be hospitalized. We are now well past the last camp, so it appears the outbreak after one was an anomaly.

However, out of a desire to do our best to encourage safety at our longer teen camps that are coming up soon, the camp team is making a few updates to our 2021 COVID-19 Protocols, in addition to making some procedural updates at our camps.

If you are planning to attend any of our camps in the remaining part of 2021, please go to camps.cogwa.org/covid/ and read the latest updated protocols.
