This was one of the most heartbreaking decisions we have ever had to make. We know how much our campers and staff all count on camp each year. We also are acutely aware of the responsibility we embrace every summer in keeping your children safe when you send them to Kippewa. With all of this in mind, there are a few things that became clear to us as we continued to learn more about this virus and navigated what it would look like to run camp in these circumstances. There is still enough uncertainty around the virus itself to give us pause. In addition, the necessary protocols for keeping our community as safe as possible would have a significant impact on our camp program. Significant enough that we felt we would lose far too much of the Kippewa experience that the girls know and love, and deserve. Ultimately, we decided the right choice was postponing camp until next summer.
