YMCA summer camp program potential model for schools

The Door County YMCA will be wrapping up its summer and day camp programs next week, with a lot of lessons learned about how to operate during a pandemic safely. CEO Tom Beerntsen says getting through a full season without any complications was due to a wealth of safety measures the Y put into place.

 


In other parts of the country, school districts that are not reopening for in-person instruction are entering into agreements with their local YMCA to provide daycare for students who are learning through remote education. The goal in the coming months is to figure out how to transfer that operational knowledge to the school districts themselves. Beerntsen says several fall sports programs will not be offered this year, including flag football, but the Y has gone forward with personal training for school-age athletes through the Peak program. Gymnastics is also provided.
