Dear Campers, Caregivers, Supporters and Friends,
Thank you all for your continued support throughout this difficult past year. As you know, the COVID-19 pandemic forced the closure of our camp last summer. As we approach the coming summer months, we are again faced with the difficult decision of whether to hold camp. After a thorough evaluation of stakeholder input from campers, caregivers, health care professionals, staff and partner agencies, the board of directors of Camp Albrecht Acres has decided to cancel its summer camp season again this year. This includes all residential and day camps as well as Camp Be-A-Friend. We are disappointed that circumstances have not improved to the point where a return to camp is possible. While we are encouraged by the progress of vaccinations, we have determined that the health and safety of our vulnerable camp population cannot be assured given the current state of the pandemic and the challenges that it poses to our ability to safely and responsibly staff and operate our camp.
On behalf of the entire Camp Albrecht Acres team, we understand that this news may be disappointing, and we apologize for the further disruption this represents for you and your family or organization. We fully expect to be able to offer our full slate of summer programming in 2022 and will explore other options for the remainder of the year, if possible.
All campers who have currently have a credit from prepaid 2020 camp fees may request a refund or direct their payment be held for 2022. Please continue to check our website and future emails for details.
Please continue to stay tuned to your email for direct communications from Camp Albrecht Acres, check our social media or website as we move toward a new ‘normal’ together. Stay safe and healthy and we look forward to seeing you all next year at camp!
Best,
The Staff and Board of Directors
