Collaboration to Provide COVID-19 Data

ACN is collaborating with ACA and the CDC  to gather data about the impact of COVID-19 on camp and youth programs this summer. We are in the process of ironing out questions, surveys and interviews, the work will be coming out in August or September. Watch your inbox for details on how to participate!

The ACN office has been busy with reports of various scenarios at camps across the country. Camps who opened and had COVID-19 outbreaks, camps who opened and successfully ran programs with no known COVID-19 incidents.

What we do know is that every camp has navigated this unique situation in their own way. There is much to learn. The ACN Virtual Camp Health Conference in October will have 2 sessions that directly speak to communicable disease and how camps can plan and prepare, and the emotional impact of COVID-19 on campers and staff. The conference will include a bonus COVID-19 update from ACN Executive Director Tracey Gaslin. This will be an event worth attending!
