Timely info for American Camps - Jan/Feb 2021

For many camps and small businesses in the United States, the Small Business Administration’s Paycheck Protection Program was a lifesaver- enabling us to keep our best people employed which we navigated the uncharted waters of the covid-19 pandemic.

Starting January 13, the second round of PPP has been made available to qualifying businesses, as well as other resources like the Employer Retention Credit. While most of us may be good at running a summer camp, this other stuff is both supremely important and pretty darn confusing- which is why we have called for an EMERGENCY Podcast with ACA National Chair Scott Brody and the great Steve Baskin - so that we can better grasp the options that can ensure our financial solvency as we enter the 2021 camp season.

Tune in to hear about:

• What we need to know about the PPP situation

• The issues of timing, and filing for forgiveness

• What’s coming down the pike.

• The extensive work that the ACA has been doing BEHIND THE SCENES, starting with the pandemic response - EHE

• Scott Brody’s camp origin story and his take on the “sleepaway camp spirit”
