Operative words

Arkansas is currently operating under a directive prohibiting mass gatherings (more than 10 people) and further business and lodging limitations. All day camps, overnight camps, and camps supported by faith-based organizations must abide by social distancing protocols implemented by these directives. Typical camp activities do not allow for appropriate social distancing under the directives, so all summer camps, including pre-camp counselor preparations, cannot operate as usual this year.... This directive includes canceling/not scheduling day camp activities, even those that take place entirely outdoors.

Enforcement

Ark. Code Ann. 20-7-101 misdemeanor

Notes

Notes that out-of-state counselors and campers 'must be restricted, as travel is associated with spreading the virus'.
