Merritt Academy Summer Camp
Due to Covid-19 field trips have been changed and procedures adjusted to keep campers safe.
The Merritt Academy Summer Camp hours are will now be 7:00am – 6:00pm. This allows us to have extra time in the morning and evenings to more thoroughly clean and disinfect items each day.
We will be canceling all field trips for now. We may look into smaller field trips towards the end of summer but for now we believe this is a safer decision. We will being doing special events on campus throughout the week though to keep camp fun and exciting!
We are implementing all new cleaning procedures for summer camp. All shared areas will be fully sanitized between classes. These areas include the playground, gym and pavilion. All classrooms and shared items will be thoroughly cleaned each evening.
We are still under construction. Our playground is smaller and has a construction wall going through it. We have added new activities to the pavilion and cafeteria deck. We will also not have any access to the backfield.
