With more and more Americans getting vaccinated—and with things moving closer to getting back to normal, slowly but surely—the guidance around what's safe and what's not is constantly evolving.
In March, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) provided recommendations for what fully vaccinated individuals can start to safely enjoy after their shots. And while things like getting together with grandparents and traveling are back on the table, the reality is that kids aren't eligible for the COVID-19 vaccine—yet. Children generally aren't affected as severely, but families still need to follow safety precautions since kids can get COVID-19 and spread it even if they don't display any symptoms.
That said, there are certainly more things for kids to enjoy this summer—especially once their parents have been vaccinated.
Here's some great news: M&M Academy Summer camp 2021 is considered a safe option.
"Kids need to have social activities," says Sara Bode, M.D., medical director at Nationwide Children's Hospital in Columbus, Ohio. And, says Dr. Bode, "Organized places like summer camps can be a great way to get them enriching activities in a controlled environment where safety measures can be in place."
In order to meet the needs of all families,this summer, M&M Academy is offering both online and in person camps.

2021 Safety Guidelines for Summer Camps
Before you sign your children up for a summer program, here's the latest guidance from the CDC and AAP to consider:
- Camp directors should encourage frequent hand-washing, mask-wearing, and social distancing.
- Everyone —regardless of their vaccination status—should continue wearing a mask in public.
- A healthy environment should be maintained, meaning regular cleaning and disinfecting, and the sharing of items should be discouraged.
- Campers, staff, and parents should stay home if they're feeling sick or have been a close contact of someone with COVID-19.
- If camp is taking place inside, there should be as much ventilation as possible.
- Outdoor summer camps that consist of small groups of children that say together all day, each day are the lowest risk. Summer camps where kids mix between groups and aren't required to space out will be a greater risk.
- Campers shall bring in their own meals and eat only within their small groups.
- Camp directors shall also have a plan in place—like asking a staff or camper to stay home—should someone become sick.
The Bottom Line
With safety measures in place, camp is a GO!!!. "During the summer, it is important that children begin to re-establish connections with their friends, peers, and non-parental adults in an environment that supports their development while also consistently practicing the recommended principles to limit the spread of SARS-CoV-2," says the AAP.
