As we navigate another unprecedented summer, we are committed to creating a safe and healthy camp environment for all staff, campers, and our entire Summer at Park community. We are working with federal, state, and local agencies, as well as the Park School, to form the best practices regarding COVID-19. As the summer continues and we gain a clearer understanding of what is (or isn’t) possible at camp, we continue to learn about our ever changing environment, and state and local regulations are updated, we will adjust our plan accordingly.

​

We can not do this alone. We need the cooperation of every Summer at Park family to make this summer the best summer yet!
