• MUST READ: Health and Safety Protocols

  We are in full summer-planning mode and looking forward to another safe and healthy summer camp experience. For the last two summers, the use of our outdoor spaces, small group sizes, enhanced cleaning protocols and practices, and the use of fabric masks effectively worked to keep our campers and staff safe. Those mitigation efforts are at the core of our planning for next summer, as well.
  
  As the required safety protocols and recommendations change, we will adapt our program to adhere to all DC Health and CDC recommendations. We will always place our families' health and safety above all other priorities.
  
  As summer draws nearer, we will update this space to reflect on-campus safety measures to keep campers safe as they enjoy another Lowell summer.
