COVID-19: 

Here at Crowders Camps, we have a commitment to the health of our campers, leaders, staff, and volunteers. To see our COVID-19 policies, go to crowderscamps.com/ commitment-to-health. Summer policies may not be uploaded until May, and are subject to change as CDC and state recommendations change frequently.

We have a fourfold approach to keeping your camper healthy this year!

  • Parents – do not allow campers to attend if they have been recently exposed to COVID, have symptoms, or have recently tested positive.
  • Leaders – check camper temperatures before travelling to camp, and screen for symptoms.
  • Campers – wear masks when in close contact with others, and wash hands frequently!
  • Crowders – frequently sanitize all common touchpoints and arrange activities thatallow physical distancing as much as possible.These policies allowed us to have a healthy summer in 2020 with zero camper COVID cases. We are doing everything in our power for a healthy 2021, however, the risk of contracting COVID cannot be eliminated entirely in the camp atmosphere. You do assume the risk of COVID in sending your child to camp.
