LOMC is currently evaluating all possibilities for summer camp this year. Our current goal is to have a decision by end of January or early February. We are taking into account many numerous details that are global and also unique to LOMC:

• When will vaccines be widely available for staff and campers?
• What restrictions might be in place by our local health department?
• Evaluating our facilities for best practices related to COVID-19.
• Financial strain over the past year and to be cautious not to cause further harm.
• Provide the best life-giving/changing EXPERIENCE for all who visit this summer…
  • A place of SANCTUARY
  • Practice COMMUNITY
  • Explore CREATION
  • Live by FAITH 

We are diligently working to create an amazing possibility for summer and here is a glimpse into what we are discussing:

• Current practice is to place campers in cohorts or small groups of 10 or less to help prevent spread of COVID.
  • This alone changes the face of what we typically experience as summer camp.
• Discussing whether day camp can take place.
• Pondering how to allow church groups to participate.
  • Larger groups placed into smaller groups and how groups get to LOMC without large transport.
• If summer camp takes place, we will be offering less weeks than previous years.
• We will not be offering offsite Vacation Bible Camp at churches.
• So, so, and very so much more to make sure everyone is safe and has a fantastic faith-filled time!
