Covid-19/Related Viruses
The Covid-19 epidemic continues to be a fluctuating situation and we will update our Covid policy as warranted.
Our primary concern is for the safety and welfare of all camp attendees. While we do not anticipate any issues, our Covid policy will continue to be made in coordination with members of the medical community and comply with Wyoming and CDC requirements. We encourage all camp attendees (adult volunteers and students) to be vaccinated for Covid. Please understand Covid is a constantly changing situation and flexibility will be key for all planning. Thanks for understanding.
