RANKIN COUNTY, Miss. (WJTV) – There are new guidelines for gatherings in Mississippi due to an increase in COVID-19 cases from the Delta variant. The Mississippi State Department of Health (MSDH) reported outbreaks at social events, funerals, schools and summer camps.
Many camps in the state are open at full capacity this summer, including one at the Reservoir YMCA in Rankin County.
“We have a little over 200 kids this summer. Last summer, we had about 50, so we’ve got a lot more activities. We’re doing canoeing on the lake. We have the pool every day. We do archery. We have a zipline. All these things we were not able to do last year because of COVID,” said Tom Bontrager, executive director of the Reservoir YMCA.
