Camp or structured activities for 13 year old unvaccinated boy?
Hi wise network.
The 13 year old son of a friend of ours from Mexico City is coming to stay with us for a few weeks in July. He was registered for two weeks of Cal camps, but we realized (belatedly -yes, huge oversight) that they require covid vaccination, which he unfortunately has not been able to get yet in Mexico.
My husband and I both work full time, so are scrambling to figure out what he can do during the week that would be fun for him, age appropriate, and of course safe for him and others. He will likely get a first dose of vaccine when he arrives, but won't be fully vaccinated until closer to the end of his stay with us. So. . . something outdoors would be ideal.
We are grateful for any creative ideas or suggestions.

Hi! If he likes art, I highly recommend Camp Kala: http://www.kala.org/education/camp-kala/

Good luck!
You could check out the programs at UC Village. They have a variety of sports and activities and spots open in July. I haven’t heard that they require COVID vaccination but my child is younger so I may have overlooked that.

Why not just get him a J&J vaccine the day he lands? One and done and he can attend the camp you planned. I know of a family who flew in from Mexico to get it done here. Anyone can walk in and get a vaccine for free with any ID, though you may need a letter from his parents because he’s a minor (I’d check at Walgreens to see exactly what you’d need).
