Hello Everyone,
The latest news is that we all are still waiting for the reopening. The state guidelines are not clear about the date.
The YTA is ready to run the Summer Camp; however, we will have to wait until the state guidelines to proceed.
Since many decisions are made by the local officials, we strongly recommend to call The State Dep of Health office and The Bedford Board of Health office to make them aware about the urgency of making decisions about youth sports and summer camps throughout the state.
