The Texas 4-H Conference Center in Brownwood is making changes to its various summer camps as a means to protect attendees and camp workers from the coronavirus.
Texas 4-H is the youth development component of the Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service, an educational outreach agency of the Texas A&M University System. Each year, the center offers a variety of fun and educational summer camps focused on helping youth develop important life skills.
“We are still planning on having camps this summer,” said Cari Snider, AgriLife Extension program specialist, Brownwood. “Registration is online, and we are actively accepting registrants for these camps.”
Getting ready for campers
Snider said to make the camps safer for attendees the center has enhanced its cleaning and sanitizing efforts, altered some camp activities to provide more personal distance, changed its dormitory and dining arrangements, established social distancing practices for the attendees to better protect themselves and others, plus made other necessary adjustments.
“We will be increasing our cleaning procedures and implementing social distancing practices,” Snider said. “Dorm rooms will have less occupancy and more space between bunks, and we will be taking steps to disinfect rooms between uses.”
