We are extremely pleased to be able to share that CFAES and university administration have approved our plan to move forward with conducting both overnight and day 4-H camps this summer. We now have approval for overnight camps as of June 1. University leadership gave careful consideration to a wide range of factors, including vaccination availability and uptake, mitigation tactics, and a host of impacts on our members, families, volunteers, supporters, facility partners, and us.
We will continue to monitor conditions across the state and will update guidelines as needed. In other words, if the state and university lift health restrictions because the spread of the virus has slowed, we will all rejoice and follow that guidance. On the other hand, if the virus spread surges and health advisories limiting mass gatherings are reinstated, we would have to move to virtual or cancel the in-person plans.
We appreciate your patience with what we know has been a long process. While some will not agree with this decision, we think we can agree that by offering day camps and overnight camps, we will be able to offer our 4-H youth a positive camping experience this summer.
