2020 Seastar Times

Camps are on for 2020!

Hello parents, guests and counsellors:

We just found out this morning that the IPYNC will be allowed to operate with over 10 people in total attending each camp.  This allowance will come with Covid-19 rules of staying at least 2 meters from one another and practicing good hygiene. The IPYNC has always practiced safety with the campers, counsellors and presenters by making sure everyone applies sunscreen and always has supervision while swimming for example.  The new Covid-19 rules will be implemented with a good plan in place to make sure it is followed.  In the coming weeks we will working to come up with such a plan and will share it in the camp newsletter, The Seastar Times, with you all.
