Procedure for Hosting a Virtual Camp

The COVID-19 pandemic has forced many programs, events, or camps (PEC) serving minors to cancel their summer offerings, while others are moving towards a web-based solution.

If you are planning to hold a web-based PEC, keep in mind that all Mason policies and procedures apply to PECs hosted in virtual space. The initial step involves registering your PEC here. A full review of all steps PECs need to consider is outlined on camps.gmu.edu

Risk Management has recently developed resources specific to virtual PECs, which can be found here.
