BLUEWATER'S COVID-19 PREPARATION PLAN

Camp is different, But Camp is good.

We are all experiencing a different life then we expected. We are committed to your child and families health. We are doing our best to follow the MN Department of Health guidelines. We have enhanced our cleaning procedures and altered our programming to aid in limiting the spread of the coronavirus, however this does not guarantee your health. Attending camp is a risk. These guidelines may change in accordance to the MN Department of Health. We have been inspected by the MN Department of Health and are looking forward to seeing you or your child at Bluewater this summer.

Below is a synopsis of our COVID-19 Preparation Plan.
