That’s seriously impressive. Our camp doesn’t even take temperatures!🙄
Yeah. This sounds fine. Ours was an indoor performance camp with masks optional, so we yanked

Still doing a 2 hr a day art class. Indoors, masked, no food. I hope it works out OK but school with twice as many kids and a meal starts next week, so it's hard to feel too worried about it this.

You shouldn't worry too much if:
1. They mask indoors at all times.
2. They swim and eat outside, and aren't elbow to elbow while doing it.
But we should all pressure our schools to have the students eating lunch outdoors, otherwise we risk closing schools with the explosion of positive cases we're going to get.

It’s 100 degrees out. You think those touch less thermometers are anything more than theater?

Delta is just covid that spreads faster. Your kids are at no greater risk than they were before.
Why are you so certain of this? I keep reading articles that say most scientists now believe it’s likely to be more dangerous. You seem awfully confident they are wrong.
Could you post some links?

regardless of how virulent it is, kids are in fact at greater risk of catching covid, because people with this strain carry higher loads in the respiratory tract and it takes a lower dose to cause infection.

As much as they want to advertise it and tell you its happening, strict mask wearing and social distancing is not happening at any camp. Kids get up in each others faces with masks on and when they’re down to eat, swim, whatever

We thought about keeping her home from camp but we’re not going to keep her home from school and I doubt much will change by the end of the month.
Temp checks, masks, hopefully distancing. We’re doing our best to live with this virus.
