CDC’s NEW Summer Camp Guidelines And How They Impact Legends Baseball Camp

Summer Camp is just around the corner!

In the video update below, David Klein, Founder & Camp Director of Legends Baseball Camps, gives a short update on what the new C.D.C. summer camp guidelines mean for Legends camps and summer camps in general. 

For day camps, the C.D.C. said that children two and up should wear masks at all times except when eating, drinking, swimming, or napping, and should be broken into small groups that interact only with each other. All campers must stay three feet from others in their cohort (six feet when eating or drinking) and six feet from everyone else (including their own counselors). Employees should be tested weekly if they interact with multiple camper groups.

But really, the C.D.C. is recommending a multilayered approach and just double downing on everything we already know works:

• Distancing (changed to 3 ft within the cohort)
• Masking for everyone at all times 
• Cohorting
• Screening 
• Sanitizing 
• Staying home when appropriate 

Please note, it is early May 2021 at the time of this video. We may adjust policies with any new C.D.C. updates. When following C.D.C. and county guidelines, we’ve been wildly successful with ZERO cases transmitted under our watch! 

How we are adapting and what this could mean for you:

• All camp staff ages 16 and older vaccinated 
  • Consider getting vaccinated and monitor efficacy for kids
• No longer doing daily temperature screening. We will be screening and running through field entry protocol on the first day
• All staff trained COVID-19 prevention strategies, including cleaning and disinfection and what to do if a staff member or child shows symptoms at camp. 
• Baseball is a naturally distanced sport. We will be paying extra attention to higher-risk times like water, snack, and lunch breaks (where kids can get close together maskless) 
• If you’re signed up for Legends camp, you are signed up for one of the lowest risk camp programs anywhere!  

Thanks for reading!

Our first two weeks of camp are SOLD OUT, and the rest of the sessions have limited space. Make sure to register ASAP to reserve your spot!
