Fun in the sun at a Harris Center summer camp in 2018. This year’s summer camps will see smaller groups and some COVID restrictions, like masks, but will otherwise operate as normal when possible. Courtesy

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.

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.
But much has changed in the last 12 months, and this spring, camps around the region are set to open – some in less than eight weeks’ time.
