COVID-19 RESPONSE

Joy of Living Camp is first and foremost committed to the safety and well-being of our campers, guests and staff. The COVID-19 pandemic has created a lot of uncertainty in the world, but rest assured, our team is working hard to update our guests, improve our processes and make the best of this situation. We will update this page as needed and if you have any questions do not hesitate to get in touch.

Summer Camp:​

• We are planning for 2021 season following closely both state and local guidelines.  

• bus kids will be required to wear masks daily to and from camp.  

• Groups or "families" will be kept to a 9 kids to 2 adults ratio with no two groups permitted in a room at the same time.  

• Kids will be kept in groups or "families" and stay separated from other groups throughout the course of the week, including bunks in the cabins.  

• Using our outdoor amphitheater we will hold a morning and afternoon rally  as well as evening chapel.  All groups will be spread out by teams throughout the large theater space.  

• Our service staff will practice regular cleanings throughout the day.

• Lunch will be outside weather permitting and separated by teams.  If weather does not permit, lunch will be conducted in shifts preventing overlap of teams.  

General:

• You can review State Mandates here.

• We will be following the ACA / YUSA Guidance here.
