SEL 2020 Cancelled
We had hoped to find a way to open camp this year, but the guidelines coming from New Hampshire are restrictive to the point that we just can’t be together the way we would want to be. The NH guidelines include having small cohorts that stay together and don’t interact with each other; eating meals in shifts, and other rules that would prevent us from gathering as one community. No matter how careful we would be, we couldn't guarantee a COVID-19 free camp session. We all come from different parts of the country, some of which are “hot spots” of the virus. We might carry the virus but be asymptomatic. Testing is very limited.
Singing Eagle Lodge is a joyful experience for the campers and for all of us. We are a vibrant, growing community in which taking care of each other is paramount. Keeping safe this summer is the most important thing we can all do... for ourselves and each other. We wish this were something we could do together, but this year we need to hold each other in our minds and hearts and know that we will be together again in 2021 to climb mountains, swim, canoe, dance, sing, put on plays and skits, have meets and Council Fire, and mostly enjoy being together at a place that we love. We look forward to that!
