The YMCA of Greater Hartford announced Friday that they were informed that a camper at Camp Chase had tested positive.

Part of the organization’s protocols to reopen the camps was to keep the children in groups of 10 while they were in the camp and not allow interactions between groups.

The YMCA said it will closely monitor other campers.

The camps were reopened with strict security protocols on June 22.
