I received this for my child care program from MSDE. This is what we follow.

I just walked the dog for 45 mins. We are both fine. My kid will go to camp.

My kid is in a full day, outdoor soccer camp, I am keeping them home

Any normal camp would cancel strenuous physical activity outdoors today.

Nope. I was out and the air is pretty thick. I don’t want my kid outside in that all day.

I’d keep them home. Just like if there were thunderstorms today. Bad weather (and I guess now air quality) is a risk you run w outdoor camps.

Came to see what people were saying about this same thing. I just got back from a dog walk and it’s not great out there. My kid is in half day tennis camp, and they’re outside for 4 hours… We WFH, so staying home is fine. Thinking about it for now, I guess, and will see if there’s a change.

What about a camp that plays outdoor tennis for 2 hours?

OP's question was related to today's poor air quality.

I wouldn’t send my kids to an intense sports camp if I was working from home or staying home.
I would send my kid to something like farm camp.
