Summer at Latin camps and classes are open to the public. Registration is on a first-come, first-served basis. So register early! Registration remains open until programs are full or two weeks prior to the camp start.

We hire staff that are creative planners, and are looking to build a fantastic day for our campers. We provide a framework for their daily schedule, and they have the flexibility to create activities that will be theme-based, keep their campers active, be primarily outside, and utilize the internal and external resources we have available. 
 

We have made the hard decision not to offer swimming this summer due to COVID restrictions as they relate to our indoor pool. Swimmers and instructors need to have masks off to provide proper safety and instruction, increasing their exposure and risk. We hope to be back in 2022!

Our risk mitigation strategies include limiting exposure to outside groups so we can increase the chance that we will be able to keep everyone at camp. Therefore, we are not planning any field trips to places where large groups of people can gather. Our groups might take advantage of smaller local trips they can walk to if they are opportunities that will enhance their day’s activities. 

We have a full day of 6.5 hours with our campers that will be filled with a variety of theme-based activities. Swimming, while an important part of our program, represented only 30 minutes of a camper’s day. We have a team of instructors that will have activities interspersed in the daily schedule - creative arts, sports, munchies and crunchies and dance! We know we will miss the opportunity for our campers to learn and develop their swimming skills, we know our staff team will create incredible days.

We have kept all of our camp groups small (10-12 campers per group in 1st grade and up) so that our staff can assure that all our campers are following our safety protocols, and we can provide the necessary supports that our campers need each day. Our camp staff will be in contact with each of their families throughout the session so you remain aware of how your child is doing at camp.

We will have a set weekly camp menu with vegetarian or meat options each day. All meals will be prepped for the individual camper based on their selection and accounting for any food allergies. Our camp groups will have lunch outside as much as possible to provide the safest environment for eating. They will all be placed at least six feet apart for a picnic-style setting. In the case of inclement weather, each camp group has ample indoor space to assure six feet of distance between campers and staff while they eat. We will also have daily snacks for each camper.

Our staff are comprised of teachers, graduate students, undergraduates and some high school students. For the summer of 2021, we are proud to have almost 70% of our staff team returning! All of our staff go through staff training and preparation the week prior to camp starting. 

We have an amazing team of AllStar Counselors hired to be with each age group! They can step in seamlessly in the case of a staff absence, or will be an extra set of hands during the day. They will also be following our cohort model and will be assigned to one cohort per day.
 

We will have a daily self-screening process that all our families will be asked to complete prior to their child coming to camp. If any person is exhibiting symptoms, we will ask that they not come to camp and contact our health office. All staff will perform daily self-screening and temperature checks before entering the school. Our staff teams will bring any camper to the health office if they are exhibiting COVID-like symptoms. 

We are pleased to have our Health Officer Jessie Heider returning for her eighth summer at camp! She will be joined by a nurse, and together they will manage our health office. They will not only be caring for any bumps and bruises but also responding to any COVID-like symptoms. We will follow all guidelines and regulations set for schools and day camps in protecting our community.
