When the school year ends, many parents rely on summer camp to keep their kids occupied. Due to the Coronavirus pandemic, kids have been home since mid-March and virtual schooling has ended for many students.
For a time, it was unclear whether summer camps would be open this year but Carrier Academy of Learning is happy to announce our program is on for 2020! If you’re looking for a reputable summer camp to send your child, what should you consider?
Fun, Educational Activities
We strongly believe that learning never stops! Gaining knowledge is especially crucial during a child’s developmental years. Look for a summer program that not only has fun activities but also focuses on cognitive challenges.
All Interests Are Met
The American Camp Association® recommends involving your child in the decision. Make sure the summer camp offers a diverse selection of activities that complement your child’s personality and will help him or her grow.
Consult the weekly schedule with your son or daughter to confirm there is something for everyone, from sports to crafts and music.
Qualified Staff Members
A trained, friendly and knowledgeable staff can make all the difference! Parents should always feel confident their kids are in capable hands. A low staff-to-camper ratio better ensures all children are being safely and effectively supervised.
Health and Safety
The camp you choose should be licensed, have certified employees and safety policies in place. If your child has a condition like asthma or allergies, the staff should be prepared to address any potential emergencies.
In terms of COVID-19 safety, our team is closely following the necessary precautions, including:
- Hand sanitizing at the front entrance
- Temperature checks of staff and children twice a day
- Social distancing between children
- Lower ratios in the classrooms
- Regular disinfecting of surfaces
- Handwashing for staff and children often
- Lower ratios in classrooms
- Parents restricted from the classrooms
