On Monday, June 8, the Newtown Athletic Club is opening its summer camp, Camp NAC, for the 2020 summer season. With full accessibility of the 26-acre NAC campus, including the 4-acre outdoor resort and pool complex, the camp leadership team looks to provide a safe and unique environment for campers this summer.
At Camp NAC, the safety of each child has always been a top priority. As staff prepares for the season, the requirements and protocols put forth by the state, CDC and American Camp Association are taken very seriously and will be strictly enforced.
To maintain hygiene, safety and physical distancing best practices, Camp NAC is implementing space and service updates to its program, including hand hygiene training, systematic temperature checks, staff appointed “Health Guards” and enhanced cleaning and sanitation systems.
This season, campers will be in small groups, while taking advantage of the NAC facility and all outdoor spaces. In June, there will be limited camp themes available. Programs will include organized time for school work, swimming at the resort, hourly hand washing and additional outdoor activities.
“Now more than ever, summer camp matters. While distancing is part of our new normal, staying active and connected remain more important than ever. Camp will help children return back to a more structured environment filled with extra curricular activities to keep them learning, moving and engaging with friends,” said Brie Feinour, Camp NAC director.
Camp NAC is for ages 3-15, with full- and half-day options available. For regular updates, on practices and policies regarding COVID-19, visit campnac.com. For more information or to enroll in camp, contact [email protected]. The Newtown Athletic Club is located at 120 Pheasant Run, Newtown.
