2022 Camp Bountiful COVID-19 Protocol Update
Greetings all:
Please take a moment to peruse the current Camp Bountiful COVID-19 Protocol for summer camps. Although the intention was to do this for our youth camps only, this may also be the protocol for reunion and retreats. I’ve consulted with people in our own area and also camps from other parts of the country and have run it past Apostle Carter.
There is no standard nationwide policy but all of those consulted have some restrictions for attending camps. Some are allowing only up-to-date vaccinated persons to attend camp. Some are not allowing any singing, even at outdoor campfires. Some are using cohorts – that is, having the same people eating and sleeping together to reduce exposure. Some were still debating on how to have camps.
There’s no guarantee we won’t have additional changes. We have no idea what variants could be in play in two months when camps actually start. Let’s hope things only get better between now and then.
Bountiful blessings,
Vern
Updates for Camp Bountiful 2021
A HUGE Thank You to the wonderful people who have given their time and hard work to Camp Bountiful this year. With their help, we have been able to complete many projects that continue to keep our campground safe and beautiful.
The handicap parking pad has been poured! The contractors finishing it used to work with Ronnie and Mike Blevins from Pleasant Valley, so they came up and helped their old buddies.
Thanks to Rachel Fant for power-washing the cabin steps so that they can be re-finished!
CC1 has been re-sided, primed, and painted! Thanks so much to Debbie Hanes and Connie Humphrey.
The playground has been re-mulched and looks great!

2021 Camp Bountiful Camps
After consultation with several people, including the CB Board chair,
former camp directors and others, Candy and I have come to the decision
that we will cancel all Community of Christ summer camps for 2021.
The decision was not made lightly, but a combination of issues,
including distancing, ventilation of sleeping quarters, sanitation
requirements, dining concerns, safety with programs, availability of
directors and staff, medical personnel, and other factors as identified
by the American Camping Association and Center for Disease Control made
cancellation the safest choice at this time. Decisions regarding fall
retreats will be made sometime during the summer.
We expect a decision on Spec to be made in May.
We realize the graduating seniors from 2020 and 2021 will have missed
their last opportunity to participate in Sr Hi camp. We hope to find a
way for a gathering for them once it is safe to meet again.
Blessings,
Vern Foster, WOMCP
