Summer camps navigating a return after lost year

This time last year, camp directors were unsure of how summer camp could move forward – or if they’d even be allowed to.
In the spring of 2020, schools were forced into remote learning, people were staying home and away from others, and not much was known about COVID-19 – how it spread, what its effects were on children. And in the end, all the unknowns, what-ifs and strict guidelines in place forced many camp directors to shut down for the season.
