Click here for updates about OVY Camp summer programs in 2021!

Hello OVY Camp Families,

OVY Camp is busy making preparations for summer camp in 2021! But first, we need to hear from you, our families. Please take 5 minutes to fill out this OVY Camp 2021: Parent/Guardian Survey so that OVY Camp can provide the most AFFORDABLE, SAFE, and FUN summer camp program for your youth this summer!

OVY Camp's primary motivation is the continued health and safety of our campers, volunteers, and staff. Please feel free to call or email with any questions: (650) 747-0321 or info@ovycamp.org. We promise to keep our families informed with news and updates as circumstances and guidance for summer camps evolve.

Please continue reading for some important announcements about OVY Camp 2021 (and then don't forget to take the 5-minute survey!):

*The Status of OVY Camp 2021 Is Under Review*
Overnight camps like OVY Camp have not yet received permission to re-open in California. We are paying close attention to updates and guidelines for camps from the California Department of Public Health. OVY Camp anticipates that we will be allowed to open this summer. We will send out an announcement as soon as a determination has been made. Please visit OVY Camp's website here - FAQ - OVY Camp 2021 - for the most current information about OVY Camp 2021. Thank you for your patience.

*Registration for Campers and Volunteers (CIT's)*
Registration for OVY Camp 2021 would normally begin in early January 2021. However, we will be delaying registration this year. The delay will allow OVY Camp to receive and then properly meet all the state and local health and safety requirements for overnight, in-person summer camp programs. Again, we will send out an announcement as soon as a determination has been made. As was our policy in 2020, OVY Camp will issue full refunds if we cannot run camp this year. Again, thank you for your patience!

*Family Camp at OVY Camp (alternative to normal camp)*
If overnight, in-person youth camps are NOT allowed this summer, OVY Camp is planning to host a Family Camp at OVY Camp instead. Family Camp would mean your family (or live-in household) could reserve a cabin for a weekend this summer, likely Friday-Sunday, at OVY Camp. Socially distanced meals and camp activities would be included and provided by OVY Camp staff throughout the weekend. To ensure health and safety, mixing between cabins will not be allowed during Family Camp. As always, OVY Camp will offer scholarships for Family Camp. We will not let cost prevent your family from attending Family Camp at OVY Camp this summer!

*Staff Hiring*
We will now be accepting applications for all paid-staff positions for OVY Camp 2021! If you are interested in becoming a part of the OVY Camp 2021 staff, please find information and applications on our website here: Join the Staff at OVY Camp. We are accepting applications for our Counselor Team, Kitchen Team, and Leadership Team.

Thank you! We are very excited to create another fun summer camp for your youth. On behalf of everyone at OVY Camp, we wish you a Happy New Year. We hope to see you this summer for OVY Camp 2021! Thank you for taking the survey!

Feel free to call or email with any questions: (650) 747-0321 or info@ovycamp.org.
