A four-day Camp Tawonga introductory session with 200 children enrolled has been canceled due to a surge in Covid cases in the region and low vaccination rates among the enrollees, most too young to get the shot, according to a July 29 email sent by camp director Becca Meyer and CEO Jamie Simon.
“We were so looking forward to welcoming your child to Tawonga and share in the disappointment this news may cause — but we must prioritize the health and safety of [all of] our campers and staff,” the email stated.
“Taste of Camp” is a kind of mini-session for those entering second through 7th grades who are new to the sleep-away camp experience. It includes traditional activities such as living in a bunk, swimming, boating and archery.
