Camps won't look 'typical this summer,' directors say as they release new safety guidelines.
Rosenberg spoke about the guidelines, along with Paul McEntire, chief operating officer of YMCA of the USA, exclusively with The"TODAY" Show on Monday morning. Both he and McEntire said camps would be heeding the guidance of their state and local health departments, which in some cases, could mean that they do not open this summer.
The guidelines emphasize social distancing whenever possible: staggering meals and arrivals and pick-ups, for example. They also call for regular hand-washing, disinfection measures and the option of screening campers and staff through temperature checks for two weeks before camp starts. "Parents can definitely expect to see safety as the first and foremost focus at camp this summer," Rosenberg said."We know as directors that when a child feels safe, they learn and grow even more effectively.
