UPDATE on Summer Day Camp AS OF 5/11/2020

Our department is waiting Governor John Bel Edwards’ press conference scheduled today (5/11/2020) at 2:30pm to see what decisions are made in regards to the potential phasing process for re-opening the state.

Depending upon his announcement, administrative staff will meet, as well as get with our legal department, to get advice on what summer day camp 2020 could look like. We are weighing all options and considering several possibilities. These decisions take time and are not being taken lightly. We only want what is best for campers, their families, and staff during these uncertain times.

We will notify all parents by the end of the week and post updates to our page.

We wish you continued safety and good health!

Thanks!
