While so many camps closed their doors for the summer, Camp Judson was able to welcome children and adults who sought a sense of normalcy and connection. In our fast-paced world, camp is a cherished choice for families looking to slow down, take stock of what really matters, disconnect from technology and reconnect in real and meaningful ways. We believe camp is important enough to the spiritual, emotional, mental and physical well-being of people that we needed to give them the option to attend camp. The South Dakota Department of Health has confirmed positive cases of COVID-19 from people who attended our Senior High Camp, which was held July 12-18. Within a day of first learning of a positive case, we alerted parents and have fully cooperated with the Department of Health and canceled our July 26-August 1 camp for junior high students. Many parents have shared how much their children thrived at camp this summer and grew in their Christian faith. Camp was a sanctuary where they found friendship and hope that can only be found in Jesus Christ. www.campjudson.org https://www.facebook.com/camp.judson.sd https://www.sdnewswatch.org/stories/covid-19-outbreak-leads-to-closure-of-campjudson-youth-facility-near-keystone/
