Stratford Academy Camp Eagle & Summer ASAP Family, We hope this email finds you staying happy, healthy and safe during these unusual times! As we've all seen firsthand, this "new normal" we live under changes on an almost daily basis and we, as a school community, must do everything we can to prevent the spread and protect the vulnerable. Despite the incredible planning and devotion that Terry Sowell, Director of Camp Eagle, has laid out for the camps this summer, we never could have imagined that a worldwide pandemic would come our way and wreck so much havoc on our plans. We have spent the last several weeks looking at different scenarios, speaking with day camp directors, and conferring with several local doctors and health officials as we try to develop plans for Camp Eagle. Armed with the information they have given us, we have decided to postpone June camps and ASAP. Terry Sowell is working furiously to reschedule those camps after the new start date of Camp Eagle which will be the week of July 6. If you are unable to attend a newly-rescheduled camp, you will receive a 100% refund. Those who have registered for camps will be receiving emails with updated information. The website will be updated by Tuesday, May 26. Questions may be directed to Terry Sowell at terry.sowell@stratford.org. As you may have seen, Governor Kemp's office recently came out with a set of guidelines for day camps to put into place to aid in the safety and well-being of the children. By postponing camps until July, our Camp Eagle team will have ample time to ensure that these guidelines can be followed and that proper protocol and policies will be in place by then. We know that this will, obviously, come as unwelcome news. Our individual Camp Directors have worked tirelessly creating plans for their camps and were eagerly anticipating the arrival of their campers. They, too, are just as bummed! However, by delaying our opening a few weeks, we'll be better able to serve our campers and keep everyone healthy and safe! We will see you soon!
