Summer 2022 and COVID-19

A Successful Summer….

 

We are thrilled to say that Camp Newaygo had a successful Summer 2020, and 2021 operating with zero cases of COVID-19.

While protecting our community required some adjustments, we were inspired to see the joy camp provided to campers and counselors this summer. Camp was a much-needed reprieve from being stuck at home without normal activities and social connections. One parent said it best, “I can’t even describe the positive impact, joy, freedom, fun, and growth opportunities you provided this summer. These children deserved to get away from the problems of the world and just focus on being kids. The positive impacts are immeasurable, and from the bottom of our hearts we are grateful!”

While we navigated the past two summers successfully, we continue to look forward with preparations for 2022. COVID is likely to still be with us in some form, and we will build on our experience from this year to be ready for another healthy summer. The health and well-being of our camp community continue to be our highest priority.
