As Tallahassee emerges from the worst of the COVID-19 pandemic, parents are deciding if and how they are reading to send their kids to camp this summer.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recently released new guidelines saying vaccinated people can stop wearing masks in most situations.
But children under the age of 12 still cannot get the vaccine, so summer camp coordinators are left weighing what other protective measures might be needed to prevent COVID in camps for younger children.
Here are a few of the ways Tallahassee camps are safeguarding their staff and camp-goers this summer.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WTXL) â Teachers and students in Tallahassee are remembering the seven crew members aboard the space shuttle Challenger who lost their lives.
The Challenger 51-L âTeacher in Spaceâ launch tragedy happened 35 years ago, on January 28, 1986.
The space shuttle was in the air for more than a minute when a plume of hot solid fuel poured out from one of the rocket boosters hitting a liquid fuel tank, creating a giant fireball thousands of feet in the air.
