Dear Camp Friends, Family, & Staff,
It is with heavy hearts that our Ohio Advent Christian Camp Directors announce the cancellation of both our Junior and Senior Summer Camps. Throughout the decision making process, the spiritual and physical well-being of our campers and their families have been our top priority. Because we believe that God works in powerful, life-transforming ways in the lives of our campers through the ministry of summer camp, we were motivated to prayerfully consider running our Summer Camps amidst the COVID-19 pandemic. We have been working diligently to put together operational plans that would bring us into compliance with the current Ohio guidelines for residential camps, as well as putting a plan in place for both campers and staff that would mitigate the spread of COVID-19 and minimize the risk to our campers, families, and staff. Disappointedly, we were not granted a permit by the Knox County Health Department and will be forced to cancel camps for the summer of 2020, due to the current pandemic situation. Though Ohio’s guidelines would permit us to operate under strict conditions, the local health department still has further jurisdiction over the events operating within their county, therefore we are unable to operate camps this year. This being said, we are looking to plan a combined retreat for the campers later this year and when we have dates and details available, we will post them as soon as possible. In the meantime, know that we are continuing to pray for all of our campers and staff members and will miss you all greatly. We look forward to next year when we can once again partner with your family in providing you with a safe and life-giving summer camp experience! God Bless, Kyle & Kelly Mayberry, Junior Camp / Andrea Watson & Brian Daniels, Senior Camp
