Dear New Yorker:
DOHMH has updated their summer day camps guidance page which largely includes State guidance: https://www1.nyc.gov/site/doh/business/permits-and-licenses/camp-directors-information.page.
Summer Day Camps Can Open June 29
New York State has issued requirements and best practices for operating a summer day camp in 2020.
Before you open your camp, you must:
• Read and affirm Interim Guidance for Child Care and Day Camp Programs During the COVID-19 Public Health Emergency (PDF).
• Read and incorporate the Child Care and Day Camp Programs Guidelines (PDF) into your daily operations.
o Review the general FAQ (PDF).
• Prepare a Reopening Safety Plan and conspicuously post it on site.
o New York State has created a Business Reopening Safety Plan Template (PDF) to assist businesses in preparing a plan.
You must also get a camp permit from the NYC Health Department. See below for more information.
If COVID-19 cases begin to increase, the Health Department may require camps to reduce operations or close as an emergency measure to protect public health. If you have questions, email campinfo@health.nyc.gov.
