We start off our week on Monday, getting to know each other, creating a "Bucket List" and start working on our cardboard boats. On Tuesday we will be doing archery and continue working on our boats. Wednesday, we will be taking a trip to Santa's Village in Dundee. Campers need to wear their camp shirt and bring masks, disposable lunch or money to buy one. Thursday we will be finishing up our boats at the Rotary and Friday we will be at Main Beach. We will be sailing our cardboard boats at the Camp Regatta (due to COVID, no spectators will be allowed), swimming, fishing and playing at the playground.
Please make sure you read the "Looking Ahead" section of this newsletter as it gives you daily information on pick-up/drop-off sites and the daily activities.
Please remember to send your child with a peanut free lunch, drink and 2 masks daily.

We have had a few questions regarding swimmer's itch at Main Beach:
As advised by the McHenry County Department of Health, the Swimmer’s Itch Advisory will continue through June 22. Our weekly communication with MCDH includes safety inspections which we continue to pass. MCDH notes that swimmers itch is common occurrence in all lakes, and is eliminated with high temperatures and/or an abundance of rain. As a district we wanted to be transparent and ensure all camp participants were aware of the following:
· MCDH said there are no requirements for any shutdowns or interruptions of service.
·Main Beach was cleared to be open and remained open all week.
· They have recommended that we have those who utilize the water towel dry or shower immediately after leaving the water.
· The counselors will have the campers shower and towel dry immediately after leaving the water.
· It is our commitment to provide a fun and safe environment for the campers to enjoy the water. However, if you would prefer your child not to swim, we will have other activities available for them at the beach.
If you have any questions, comments, or concerns, please do not hesitate to call
