River Camp 2022 and COVID-19

Our top priority is protecting the health and safety of our campers, Junior Leaders, and staff. As camp programs take place entirely outdoors, kids will have plenty of space to spread out and lots of fresh air to breathe. We will monitor current requirements and guidance documents and implement best practices to prevent the spread of COVID-19.
Safety measures will include:
  • Daily health screenings
  • Reduced group sizes and camp capacity
  • Physical distancing in daily games and activities
  • Frequent hand washing or use of hand sanitizer
  • Increased sanitization of camp facilities and activity materials
  • Use of masks indoors and any time participants might not be able to maintain 6 feet of distance
  • For over 25 years, River Camp has provided youth with the opportunity to spend meaningful time outdoors, create new friendships, and learn about the local ecosystem. We look forward to continuing these traditions in 2022.
