SANTA FE WALDORF SCHOOL SUMMER CAMP
After analyzing the requirements published by the governor and the New Mexico Department of Health in the Guidance for Summer Youth Programs, the Santa Fe Waldorf School has decided not to offer summer camps this year. The government will allow summer programs as long as a ratio of five children per one adult is observed, and unfortunately that makes the summer camp programs financially unviable for our school.
