Oh and as a footnote, to organizations in states where this is not allowed so importing people from areas that have an increased exposure to this. Isn't this just a bit hypocritical?

The issue is two-fold, but neither of what you're complaining about
: 1. The cost to provide safety vs. the cost to operate the facility and 2. The likelihood that many families would pull their kids, leaving camps in the lurch.
For example, Scout camps were a go until a survey showed that as many as 50% of the parents might not send their scouts if the "safety mechanisms" were inadequate. The problem at the time, mid-June—only a couple weeks before the start of camp—was that the camps didn't even really know what they'd have to do. It was a mess.
Now that the guidelines are set, camps can rent to groups that can/want to meet those, but it's far too late to create a summer program.
