That means mask wearing and social distancing are going to be necessary.
The CDC says masks should be worn by everyone at all times except when eating and swimming.
The agency also says campers should be separated into small groups that don’t interact and keep 6 feet apart from each other at all times.
Indoor activities and close-contact outdoor sports are also discouraged.
The CDC advises sleep-away camps to require proof of a negative COVID test for campers who are too young to have been vaccinated.
