Parks and Recreation is officially hosting a 2020 session of summer camp at Comstock Community Center while taking numerous steps to ensure the safety and peace of mind of campers, parents, and staff during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Camp Looper and Cool Tots will be reminiscent of previous years, but with some unique twists to maintain compliance with State and Town public health guidelines. Parks and Recreation staff have worked diligently to make camp the best experience possible amid the current climate.
Campers can expect to have familiar schedules to previous summers. Although the formerly robust travel schedule will not be present, some favorites such as Ice Cream Emergency and Dave’s Planet Pizza will be making guest appearances throughout the summer. There will also be some surprise virtual visits as well. Every program and activity is designed to provide campers with leadership opportunities, academic exposure, and social growth. The 2020 session of summer camp at Comstock will be one of Parks and Recreation’s most memorable events.
Some of the precautions taken to manage camper and staff safety include designated entry and exit points for each camp room, screening of campers and staff prior to building entry, and a registered nurse to monitor everyone involved in the program. Campers and staff alike will be required to sign informed consent forms, a waiver stating awareness of the risks involved with COVID-19, prior to the start of the program. Extensive coordination between Parks and Recreation and the Town EOC have endowed Camp Looper and Cool Tots with a comprehensive policy guide that covers every potential variable involved with the program.
Camp Looper and Cool Tots kicks off on June 22nd for eight consecutive weeks at the Comstock Community Center, 180 School Road in Wilton. Registration is available online now through E-trak only with this URL https://www.wiltonct.org/parks-recre…/…/new-parks-rec-portal. Camp fee is $290.00 (Camp Looper)/ $205.00 (Cool Tots) per camper per week.
