Summer Blast Day Camp

02/01/2022

Well, I have made a decision to NOT open Summer Blast Day Camp this summer. It has been very difficult for me to come to this conclusion, I believe it is the best decision for us to make given the situation with the virus that we really do not know that much about. Since the virus there has been several different recommendations submitted by Kansas Department of Health and Environment to follow causing us to hire someone to manage these guidelines. It saddens me to have to say that camp will be closed for 2022!

We will be CLOSED this summer! We have done all that is possible to get things in order for the summer but things seem impossible at this point. I appreciate your interest in Summer Blast Day Camp but we will license for next summer and plan accordingly.
If you are interested in next summer please send a message to us and we will get a hold of you in January or February to enroll at that time.
Please let me know if you have questions and enjoy your summer!

Only when diverse perspectives are included, respected, and valued can we start to get a full picture of the world: who we serve, what they need, and how to successfully meet people where they are.

Daring leaders fight for the inclusion of all people, opinions, and perspectives because that makes us all better and stronger. That means having the courage to acknowledge our own privilege, and staying open to learning about our biases and blind spots. It is also listening, centering, and honoring stories that reflect experiences that are different than our own.

Courage is listening, learning, unlearning, knowing when to lead, and knowing when to let others lead.

Great to listen for change within us

I'm talking with professor Ibram Kendi, New York Times bestselling author of How to Be an Antiracist and the Director of the Antiracist Research and Policy Center at American University. We talk about racial disparities, policy, and equality, but we really focus on How to Be an Antiracist, which is....

We know these times are difficult when you add everything up that has changed in our lives thus far. One of the best things to give your child is the opportunity to have a good self-esteem. We will miss you all this summer!

It saddens me to have to make this decision to close camp for this 2020 summer. We have looked at this every way we can and it doesn’t seem wise to open Summer Blast Day Camp this year. Our mission statement has included keeping kids safe, this is and has been our top priority, it would be difficult to keep everyone safe as this Covid-19 virus is still so misunderstood.
Thank you all so much for supporting our camp over the years, this would have been our fifteenth year to serve school age children in Hays
Your enrollment fees will be mailed back to you and please ask questions as you have them.
Thank you
