camp blodgett responds to questions about covid-19 & summer camp

THE INFORMATION BELOW WAS PROVIDED TO THE PARENTS OF OUR 2020 REGISTERED CAMPERS
Wednesday, April 29, 2020

Thank you for your patience with the Camp Blodgett staff as we navigate these truly unprecedented times. We all want answers regarding summer camp, but unfortunately, until we get further guidance from local and state officials, we are unable to make a final decisions about what Summer Camp programs will look like.

Here is where we are currently:

• Registration for camp is now closed, and if we are able to have camp this summer, our focus will be on serving as many of the currently registered campers as possible.
• For the safety of our campers, their families, and our staff, Camp Blodgett will be canceling all JUNE camp session dates. Any camp programming that may take place will occur in JULY and EARLY AUGUST.
• Once we receive more information on what specific guidelines will be in place for July and August, we will make a determination on whether or not we can safely offer camp during those times.
• If we are unable to hold camp this summer, or you would like to cancel your reservation now, families may request a FULL REFUND of your fees paid to-date.
• When we are able to make a final determination regarding camp we will work with our families to move your registration(s) into the sessions available. We will offer sessions to families on a first-registered, first-served basis.

Our goal is to provide a safe environment for our campers, and we will do everything we can to provide that for your children. We know this is an incredibly frustrating time and wish we had more answers for you. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

WILL CAMP BLODGETT ACCEPT REGISTRATIONS DURING THIS TIME?
Our Summer Camp registration is currently closed to new registrations as we reassess our plans for the summer season. We are happy to answer any questions you may have about this. Our staff will be working from home during this time and will respond to your questions and concerns as quickly and efficiently as possible during this time. It will be easiest to contact our staff via email. Our email addresses and office phone can be found on our CONTACT US page.

WHAT WILL HAPPEN IF COVID-19 CONTINUES TO IMPACT OUR COMMUNITY AND SUMMER CAMP IS CANCELLED?
While we are hopeful that the intensity of the COVID-19 situation will have passed before the start of the summer camp season, if Camp Blodgett does need to cancel one or more sessions of Summer Camp, we commit to offering a full refund of fees paid for campers registered for cancelled sessions.

WHAT IS CAMP BLODGETT DOING TO MINIMIZE THE EFFECTS OF COVID-19 ON CAMP PROPERTY?
As summer camp comes closer, we will address the specifics of our efforts to clean and sanitize our camp property as well as screen campers and staff for health and safety.  Be assured that we will do all that we can to keep our campers and staff safe.
