Will Pierce is the owner and director of Pierce Country Day Camp in Roslyn, NY. It won&#8217;t be long before children are back here. Camp ran last year at a reduced capacity. Will Pierce says &#8220;We will only operate if we can do so safely. We operated at a group maximum of 15 campers, all staff were in face masks, and we had a daily health screening.&#8221; This year Pierce hopes to increase the group sizes but continuing the protocols that kept them safe &#8211; sanitizing equipment and having the staff members wear masks. Pierce says &#8220;We had over 700 people here every single day with zero cases.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>According to a recent Duke University study that examined 54 YMCA camps in North Carolina during the pandemic, there were only 19 symptomatic cases out of nearly 7,000 campers and staff. &#8220;Camp is a very controlled environment. It always is.&#8221; According to Susie Lupert, Executive Director of American Camp Association New York-New Jersey. This year Governor Cuomo has allowed sleepaway camps to reopen. Lupert believes if camps follow the guidelines campers can attend safely.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;If camps follow the guidelines, campers can attend safely.&#8221; Kids in New York will have more opportunities for fun this summer.
