Dear Families,
On Saturday, Governor Baker shared state guidelines for summer camps. After reading through the requirements and discussing what is both feasible and feels authentic to a true Waldorf experience, we have decided that we cannot deliver the quality of camp program that we would like to.
While some of the guidelines felt manageable, such as, having no more than 10 children per group, implementing onsite daily screenings, additional cleaning/disinfecting protocols and increased hand hygiene with the children.
However, there were also many factors that were prohibitive to delivering the quality of program that we intended. Such as, the children would need to wear facemasks whenever they were less than 6 feet apart, maintaining 6 foot distancing as much as possible, and no communal sand, water or shared equipment.
As the former camp director, I love camp, and know the importance of having these fun, engaging and social experiences during the summer. This is especially true this year. Please know that this was a difficult choice for us to make.
I will keep a list of the families that have expressed an interest in our summer program and notify you if, in phase 3 of Massachusetts’ reopening when the updated guidelines are shared, we are able to offer summer programming of some sort.
Please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions or concerns that you may have. Thank you!
Sincerely,
Coleen Ryan
