ANTICIPATED COVID PLANS & PRECAUTIONS FOR 2021
Updated 11/10/20
Although it is too soon to know exactly which COVID precautions will be mandated by the Maine CDC next summer, we expect that they will include many of the things that worked so well for the few Maine camps that did operate (all of them successfully) in 2020, such as testing and/or quarantining prior to arrival at camp, masks, distancing, regular disinfecting in high traffic/high touch areas, smaller bunk sizes, open windows, revamped dining procedures, adapted drop off/pick up days, and adjusted travel to camp policies.

It seems unlikely that parents days will be possible next summer so we plan to put together a video of various performances from the final week of the session, which families will be able to enjoy at their leisure once it is posted. Should conditions change and we are able to have parents days, we will let our families know as soon as possible.
We feel that we can take advantage of our beautiful, outdoor setting to allow all of our musical activities, including singing and wind playing, to thrive in a socially distanced way. Most of our buildings are quite well ventilated, many of our larger buildings are big enough to allow for indoor, distanced rehearsals and we expect to use some outdoor tents for rehearsals and private lessons as well.
We look forward to the summer!
