Sunday morning, July 18, 2021, we had two cases of COVID-19 on site. Our staff met and assessed the situation with the safety of our campers, their families and our staff in mind. The painful decision was made to cancel camp for the week of July 18-23. All of our staff have been tested for COVID-19 and we are awaiting the results to make further decisions about the remainder of summer camp. For more information, click the button below.

COVID-19 Frequently Asked Questions:
We anticipate questions regarding this so we have done our best to answer those below. If your question is not answered, feel free to email our office at [email protected].
Is Summer 2021 already full?
Not yet. We are working really hard to get to a point where we feel comfortable opening bed spaces. If a session you are interested in is full, we are more than happy to put you on the waiting list. You can check which sessions are wait listed or not by clicking here.
Will there be symptom checks for campers?
Yes! We will ask parents to monitor their camper during the last two weeks before arriving at Asbury Hills. If the camper shows any symptoms of COVID-19 (as defined by the CDC) or has a temperature over 100.4 degrees, we ask that you call our office. Everyone will be temperature checked upon arrival including everyone in your vehicle for check-in. If anyone in your vehicle has a temperature over 100.4 degrees, everyone will be asked to leave. Temperatures and symptoms of everyone on property will be monitored daily.
Will campers have to wear masks?
Sometimes. Everyone will need to wear a mask when entering our dining hall. Masks can be removed once seated at the table with food. We will ask campers to put on a face covering when social distancing is not possible. We have over 2000 acres of property so there is plenty of space for everyone.
Will retreat guests have to wear masks?
We ask that everyone wears a mask upon entering the dining hall and keeps it on until they are seated at their table with their food. Masks will not be required but are strongly encouraged when social distancing is not possible. Our staff will wear masks when social distancing is not possible.
What was your decision to cancel camp for summer 2020 based on?
We have taken into consideration the best practices suggested by the American Camping Association, The Association of Camp Nursing, the Association for Challenge Course Technology, the American Red Cross, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the Department of Health and Environmental Control, and our local authorities to come to the conclusion that we could not safely operate for Summer 2020. This decision was made final by our board of directors on May 21st, 2020.
