Dear Fellow Rotarians,
As you know, since mid-March Akron Rotary Camp has had no activity due to COVID-19. With Governor Mike DeWine’s Responsible RestartOhio for both Youth Day Camps and Residential Camps, the Rotary Camp board made some exciting and difficult decisions regarding the remaining summer programs. We will be offering limited overnight and day camp programs beginning July 5th. We are operating at a greatly reduced enrollment this summer. The health and safety are first and foremost for our campers and staff. While camp will look and be different in many ways this summer, we would still like to offer the best experience we can to our campers. Our summer camp schedule is as follows:
July 5-10 Overnight children’s camp
July 13-17 Day camp
July 20-24 Day camp
July 26-31 Overnight children’s camp
August 3-7 Day camp
Annually, Akron Rotarians have been a huge help with Camp cleanup in preparation of the start of summer camp. With the approval of President Pat O’Neill, President-Elect Dr. Rob McGregor, and Service Chair Cyndi Kane, we are in need of Rotarians who are comfortable in volunteering to assist us in getting Camp in tip-top shape before our campers and staff arrive on June 28, 2020. All cabins, bathhouses and open areas need to be cleaned and sanitized. We have several volunteer opportunities at staggered times to encourage social distancing - more dates have been added!
All cleaning supplies and gloves will be provided, but you are more than welcome to bring your own. Suggested cleaning items:
* Buckets
* Dusters
* Gloves
* Rags
* Shopvacs
* Stepstools
Please click on the sign up genius link below to review volunteer options - we added more dates so please check back if you are still interested in helping. If you would like to come at a different date and time that is offered, we will be happy to accommodate it. Any questions, please contact Amanda Warner at amandaw@akronymca.org<mailto:amandaw@akronymca.org or 330-644-4512 x3205.
Thank you in advance for your ongoing support of your camp – Akron Rotary Camp!
In the Spirit of Camping,
Dan Reynolds
Executive Director
