Show Notes

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, many summer camps were forced to shut down or go virtual last year. Tom Rosenberg, the president and CEO of the American Camp Association, joins “Closer Look” to discuss what camp operators are doing this summer and what steps are being taken to keep children and staff safe amid the ongoing health crisis. Plus, Mary Rogers and Alice Miller of Sherwood Forest Camp, a year-round youth development organization that helps children from underserved communities in Saint Louis, Missouri, talk with Rose about why camp matters, especially after a year of grief and isolation birthed by the pandemic.
