Brian Ratner struggled over whether to send his two children to overnight camp last summer. Even though Camp Robin Hood, located in Freedom, N.H., had a solid plan to create a safety bubble, Mr. Ratner knew there was a risk of a Covid outbreak.
After three rounds of testing, including one before camp, and strict enforcement of mask-wearing, director Richard Woodstein called everyone together, turned up the music and announced the good news: Everyone tested negative. Campers ripped off their masks, hugged each other and danced. Mr. Ratner soon received a letter from his 11-year-old daughter Lila. That moment was one of the greatest days of her life, she wrote. “Right now I don’t feel like corona is a thing and I am so happy.”
Lila and her 13-year-old brother, Noah, who haven’t been to school in person since last March, are already signed up for summer 2021. “I feel much more confident than last year. I know what to expect,” says Mr. Ratner, an attorney in Potomac, Md. Overnight camp has always been a way to give children an experience removed from the realities of everyday life—a place to run free, learn new things and make lifelong friendships. Rarely have such joys been as amplified as during the Covid-19 pandemic, as many students have felt isolated most of the year, spending their time in front of computers and away from peers, unable to participate in sports, music or drama.
At this rate, we'll never be rid of covid.
I’m back with smile on my face again thanks to marksust7 I don’t know what to say I was skeptical but I am proud to let the world know that you’re the reason behind my successful trades life!!🙏🙏🙏🙏 God bless you for your good work
Thanks WSJ but only thing I need to know is what is available.
don't worry .. they will find a way to shut those down too. Nothing feels more power for politicians then to lock kids in their home during their childhood years
NOBODY CARES at this point we just want our lives back. w.h.o. doctors have even stated that lockdowns don't work, but were ignored completely.
Wear your mask and go to camp.and do the needful.

UNC and duke just did a study of 1 million students in 11 school districts. 0.0% of cases of kids transmitting to adults
Some parents don’t like offing their kids on someone else. Oh that’s right the rich and privileged send their kids away. Are there safety measures going to be in place? It’s all about the money right.
Oh give it a rest. My son did summer camps all summer last summer at the Y and there were no outbreaks. They're all mostly outside, wearing masks and taking precautions. Let these kids be kids FFS.
I wonder
Lol these parents will do whatever it takes to have someone else take care of their kid
