2021
In a year where life has been turned upside down and we find a “new normal” around every corner, we think children and families should have something to look forward to this summer. Camp is great for children for many reasons – and yes, that includes getting children away from home and into the world outside to make new memories!

At camp, children can make new friends, develop their social skills, try new things, learn new skills or deepen and expand existing ones. At day camp and sports camps, children spend many hours outdoors in a wide variety of healthy activities. At enrichment camps, children can continue to hone their skills in creativity, critical thinking, communication, and collaboration – core skills for every 21st century learner. As we look forward to the summer of 2021, Decatur’s Children and Youth Services and Active Living divisions have put together a slate of sports, enrichment and day camp programs with COVID-19 in mind. The programs have been designed with reduced enrollment to address social distancing and space limitations at the various city facilities. The city has developed a variety of protocols related to cohort groupings, masks, disinfecting and sanitizing of high-touch surfaces, plenty of time outdoors and more. No field trips are planned for summer 2021 out of an abundance of caution. In the event that the public health environment looks safer for group interactions indoors by late spring, we may be able to expand our numbers and add campers. This Camp Playbook can be used as a planning tool for your child’s summer. The At-A-Glance summary on pages 8-9 lists Decatur’s summer camps by week and includes times, locations, instructors, and cost. Additional camp planning tools can be found at decaturga.com/cys.
