We have used this information to help assess our current service needs, health and safety measures, and planning processes. With the uncertainties surrounding this pandemic, we want to ensure you remain up-to-date on how Camp Noah is proceeding with services.

At the moment, we are continuing with camp-season planning; however we will be rescheduling all camps that were originally scheduled to take place in June. While this decision was not easy, it helps assure that we are able to continue our work and remain committed to providing assistance in communities through our long-term recovery efforts. Looking ahead, all of us are excited that our curriculum has been modified to fit an after-school setting and are looking forward to having a chance to implement it this fall. We hope that you and your families are well, and would like to remind you all to practice self-care whenever possible during this difficult time. We appreciate the trust you have placed in Camp Noah in support of your community’s recovery and we encourage everyone to stay safe.

If you have questions, comments or concerns, please feel free to contact us.
