The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have recently released summer camp guidelines to prevent the spread of COVID-19. Besides good hygiene and testing for COVID -19 symptoms each day, they offer suggestions to camps for how the camp day should be structured. The CDC says that camps should encourage social distancing through increased spacing, maintain small groups, and limited mixing between groups. They also recommend staggered scheduling, arrival, and drop off. Summer camps are to also adjust activities and procedures to limit sharing of items such as toys, belongings, supplies, and equipment. Do you think camps should be open this summer using these guidelines? Will they be successful in stopping the spread of COVID-19 or do you think it is too risky to send children to summer camp this year?

New School Year Success Tip #1: Stop Over-Scheduling
As a society, we tend to feel obligated to fill every hour of our children’s days with activities. Physical and creative outlets such as sports, art, theater and music are something every child needs, however not at the expense of their education. If school is suffering due to lack of homework and study time because of outside activities, some activities should be cut. Education must be the priority.
PREVENT THE SUMMER SLIDE #22: READING
Choose books that are fun and interesting. Now is the chance to read about exciting topics that are not covered in school that kids love. Some examples include favorite wrestlers, astronomy, sports stars, UFO’s, Loch Ness Monster, Bigfoot and unsolved mysteries.
