NEWTOWN, PA — The Newtown Athletic Club’s summer camp program remained coronavirus-free all summer, club representatives shared in an update this week. The Newtown Township-based camp served approximately 600 children from June to August.
Camp NAC followed safety standards from Center for Disease Control, World Health Organization, and local government and avoided cases throughout the duration of the camp, representatives shared.
“This summer, we found that a safe, social atmosphere was essential to help some children gain confidence and find their footing again. It was our mission to provide children with structured, extracurricular activities where they are engaged with their peers and have emotional support," Camp NAC Director Brianne Feinour said in an update.
