Camp in the national media
Good Morning America ran this story in June about what campers and counselors are doing to stay safe at summer camp. Watch it here. How do stories like this impact and influence your parents, campers, staff, and program?

Finding the Way of Cross in Nature: A guide for kids
This resource from the Rev. Mia Kano was written for Holy Week and Good Friday, as a way to connect what kids are seeing in the outdoors to the stations of the cross. I can imagine many ways it could be used in a camp setting; there’s a version for adults, too!

A note about sharing health manuals from the Association of Camp Nursing
Sharing resources is one of the simplest ways to engage within the ECCC and UMCRM networks. We ask questions, share job descriptions, page through other camps’ websites, in search of inspiration, support, or direction. Here are a few considerations from the Association of Camp Nursing about sharing health-related policies and procedures:
Defining a "health manual" is challenging and may contain a variety of items. For some camps, this is a brief summary of health policies while other camps include everything in their health manual.
Each state has different camp regulations that may impact your health protocol decisions.
Camp facilities/structures/layout are different, meaning how you communicate, operate, and access health services at your camp are unique to you.
Camps serve different populations (boys, girls, special needs) that drive decisions about care policies (Ex; a Sports camp will have robust orthopedic policies while an asthma camp has well-constructed protocols for respiratory conditions).
Camps are located in different places which impacts their access to higher-level healthcare services. Decisions about onsite camp health services are impacted by distance from ER or other health supports.
Camp healthcare providers onsite may have significant variance in their scope of practice so you need to understand what camp healthcare providers (typically nurses) can and cannot do and what oversight is required in each state to provide care.
These are some examples of variance between each camp. The beauty of camp is that we are diverse; the challenge of camp is that we are diverse. As you develop or refine your camp health policies/procedures/guidelines, be sure to consider all of these elements (and more) so that your policies reflect your practice, your structure, your state regulations, and your activities. There are many resources available to help you develop your camp "Health manual" on the Association of Camp Nursing website (www.campnurse.org) under Educational Resources.

Understanding Trauma: What's up with "that" kid?
There is a challenging child in every group. As Christian educators we learn about Autism, Asperger’s, learning disabilities, and physical disabilities. We do everything in our power to meet children where they are and welcome them into our midst. We know Christ calls us to do so.
But what about the kid that doesn’t fit any diagnosis you’ve heard of?
…
That’s my kid, and his issue is early childhood trauma.

Summer Camp Recruitment Materials
Here are some resources that you can use in your staff recruitment efforts. With two basic themes -- skills you'll learn and reasons to work at camp at camp this summer -- there are:
Facebook Posts (These can also be used as flyers; there are PDF versions) -- There are two versions of each, to show you where a logo could go. Email Ashley with your logo file in order to get a customized version.
Instagram Posts These have 8 or 9 slides, so could be used as one post, or in pieces, however you like.
Instagram Stories These are saved as video files; let me know if a different format would be better.
Video There’s a quick video montage of staff-in-action photos that you could throw a text over or a song behind, or otherwise use as you like. There are two ratio versions of that for either a post or story on Instagram (TikTok has the same ratios as Instagram stories.)
Throughout the copy/text, if you have a specific reason or skill you'd like to highlight, edits can be made; send Ashley the exact language you'd like to use. If you're on Canva and would like to use these as templates to create your own, I can share with you; just send me your username.
Here's the Google Drive folder with all the above.

Why Pronouncing Names Correctly Is More Than Common Courtesy
Pronouncing names correctly is "one of those ways that you can really practice anti-racism and practice allyship in the moment," says Tulshyan, the founder of Candour, an inclusion strategy firm. It's "one of those very subtle but extremely important ways to get engaged and really stand up ... for communities that are nonwhite and largely have faced marginalization."
This interview on NPR’s Life Kit podcast discusses correcting your own mistakes and correcting others.

Episcopal Youth Event Survey: Please share.
The Office of Youth Ministry within the Department of Faith Formation for The Episcopal Church has begun a research project to assess the impact, evaluate the efficacy, and plan for the future of the triennial international Episcopal Youth Event (EYE), and Evento de Jóvenes Episcopales (EJE). As its a youth event, the department doesn’t have any direct email addresses for past participants of these events, and needs support and word of mouth in spreading the word and gathering data. Will you consider sharing this with your campers and alumni?

American Academy of Pediatrics releases guidelines for safe Summer camps
To guide parents, camp directors, and pediatricians in creating safe camp environments, the American Academy of Pediatrics is issuing newly updated Guidance for Families and Pediatricians on Camp Attendance During the COVID-19 Pandemic to help protect the health of children, adolescents, staff, and communities.
New information has emerged to guide safety procedures in camp settings. Evidence has shown there is limited transmission of the virus among children and staff in controlled settings when safety protocols are followed, including wearing masks, practicing physical distancing, and the enhanced cleaning and disinfection of surfaces.
The greater availability of local testing and the longer planning period that camps have had to adjust their facilities and programming will also help more camps open safely in 2021. The updated guidance reflects this new knowledge and is intended for pediatricians and families as they make informed decisions on sending children to overnight/sleepaway or day camp during summer 2021.

Camp Day of Action for Trans* Justice: April 1st, 2021
Trans* youth in America are under attack. As of this writing there are currently 82 bills anti-trans bills that have been introduced in state legislatures across the country. Most of them are aimed at some of the most vulnerable members of our community- our youth. Some aim to leave trans* girls on the sidelines of sports, and to allow for invasive and traumatic exams for anyone who doesn’t fall neatly into the category of “female” just to be part of the team. Others ban life saving gender affirming medication and make it a felony offense for doctors who prescribe them. Prior to the introduction of these 21% of trans* youth attempted suicide every year (Trevor Project National Survey on LGBTQ Mental Health 2020). That’s 1 in 5. Every year. Without access to equitable treatment, and gender affirming medication experts only expect that number to increase in the coming years.
These bills are taking aim at our campers. For every bill- whether it passes or doesn’t it sends the message to this already vulnerable group that their access to living full lives is up for debate. We cannot always control what is happening in statehouses- but we CAN control what is happening in our camp communities. It is time for camps to make a statement that we will NOT allow this type of transphobia to exist in our spaces. Your trans* campers need you to make a statement. It could save their lives.
Can we count on you to make a difference in the lives of trans* kids this summer?
