Timeline
Interventions
The intervention camps will operate according to routine practice, with no assistance from the investigative team. The camps provide indoor and outdoor opportunities for children to be physically active each day, provide enrichment and academic programming, as well as provide breakfast, lunch, and snacks. All camp meals will adhere to the United States Department of Agriculture Summer Food Service Program nutrition guidelines. The camps employ 1 staff member for every 12 children - which is consistent with childcare regulations in the state of operation and operate daily (Mon-Fri) for 8 weeks during the summer. The camps open at 7am and close 6 pm daily.
