Summer Update – Feb 19, 2021

Dear 2021 Camp Families!

We’re BACK!! With the support and guidance of the Solana Beach School District, we’re thrilled to announce the return of Keystone South Summer Camp for Summer 2021.

We are truly excited about the strong community and outdoor connections we will be providing once again to our Keystone family as we celebrate our FIFTH ANNIVERSARY.  We are entering this summer with confidence and experience in facing the Covid challenges, and we are currently working around-the-clock to develop and implement seamless policies and practices to ensure a safe, healthy, and fun summer. As always, your child’s health and safety will come first, and we are looking forward to sharing all the details of our program with you in the next coming weeks.

We have missed your campers tremendously, and we couldn’t be more excited to be able to work with each of them this summer!

2021 Camp Tentative Timeline

As we continue to work with the Solana Beach School District and school board, local government policies for recreational programs, and the American Camping Association, here is our tentative timeline:

1. Our website will be updated on March 5th, with a detailed view of the program, camp health and safety protocols, and answers to all of the frequently asked questions that are on your mind.
   
2. VIP Registration is set to launch March 8th, with a generous discount period and perks you have come to expect from being a part of our camp community. If your family decided to transfer your 2020 registration to our 2021 season, we will be contacting you directly for pre-registration the week of March 1st.
   
3. Our camp days will once again be in session from 9:00-3:00. We will have 3 two week sessions, with dates looking like:
   • • Session One: June 21 – July 2
     • Session Two: July 5 – July 16
     • Session Three: July 19 – July 30
4. Camper groups will be very limited so register early.  We anticipate being at near capacity well before summer.  Individual groups will be separated with our very low counselor to camper ratio. Don’t wait too long, we will fill up.
5. Our refund/credit policy addresses the many concerns parents have asked about.  We believe it’s the most liberal and fair refund policy around.  We worked together last spring when Covid hit and we offered 100% refund to every camp family.  As with every year, our refund policies will be clearly spelled out on our registration forms.

We are so excited to welcome our favorite campers back to camp this summer, and please don’t hesitate to reach out with questions about our upcoming program or, as always, just to say hello.

Sincerely,
Mike Bentz and the Keystone South Team
