In the past few weeks, more than 15 people tested positive for the coronavirus.

A Fresno County youth camp has suspended its remaining summer sessions after more than 15 people tested positive for coronavirus in the past few weeks, amidThe decision to suspend the camps was made after consulting with the Fresno County Department of Public Health and through an “abundance of care for the health and safety of our campers and staff,” according to a Hume Lake Christian Camp statement.

The camp, which sits on 365 acres, hosts around 2,000 people each week, according to a representative for the Hume Lake organization, who declined to be named. The camps have run since June and attendees were required to be vaccinated or have a negative COVID test within three days of their arrival.

“It does seem to be in line with the increase in the cases and variant we’ve been seeing,” the representative said. “They had many weeks of camp where they had absolutely no COVID positives. It definitely seemed to be an uptick.”
