Dear Centre Camp Families,
We hope everyone is safely enjoying the beautiful summer weather. We just wanted to send you a couple of very quick updates as we approach the month of June:
We thank you so much for your patience as we wait for guidance from local health officials and the Province of Ontario regarding all the necessary requirements we need to fulfill to operate in-person programming safely.
As soon as we have these guidelines in hand, we will work to see if we can execute our program plans accordingly. This will also answer the many questions both you and our team have regarding which activities can run, how many campers we can accommodate, and how we can access the appropriate Personal Protective Equipment for our staff. Please also keep in mind that when the information is shared with us, that the government and local pubic health officials will have full control of announcing whether or not we can actually open our doors. It is most likely we will not know their decision before they share it with the general public, so please allow us time to share our announcement/update shortly afterward. This decision is not fully in our hands, nor is the timing. We understand this is frustrating and we are doing the best we can with the information we have. Just be mindful this is all being done with the health and safety of our entire community at the top of the priority list.
As promised, we will
not
process any fees until we know which direction we are going to take, and you will have a choice as to how you would like to move forward.
We originally extended this date from May 1, 2020 to June 1, 2020. Because we are unsure of when the government and health officials will share the necessary information/guidelines with us, we cannot be certain that we will have a decision in place by June 1, 2020. Because of this, we will only move forward with payment processing when we have shared our decision regarding the summer with you all. Before we process any payments upon a decision being made, you will be asked to complete an online form for each camper asking how you would like your camp fees that are already collected to be handled. We will share these details once we announce our plans for the summer.
We say this a lot, and we truly mean it: Thank you for your continued understanding, support, patience, cooperation, and partnership. Our promise stands to continue providing transparent and timely information. In the meantime, please stay healthy, be safe, and enjoy the sunshine. Of course, don't forget to put on sunscreen. Shemie is shining bright these days!
Thank you,
The Jack and Pat Kay Centre Camp Team
