Although there may be fewer attendees amid a second year of COVID-19, Delaware summer camps prepare for an active and safe season.
As he looks forward to the summer of 2021, Walt Lafontaine is one happy camper.
Last spring, he had to make the wrenching decision not to open Camp Arrowhead the largely residential summer camp he runs on the western shore of Rehoboth Bay for the COVID-19–haunted summer of 2020. This year, he was quick to announce the happy news to worried parents that Arrowhead would indeed be open, albeit on a reduced scale, this upcoming summer. Spots were filled in fewer than three days.

Milford School District and Abbottâs Mill Nature Center have partnered this year to continue providing field experiences to students despite the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Because students are still using a hybrid learning experience with some students still in a completely remote setting, the experiences will be conducted remotely this year.
âAbbottâs Mill has worked to pivot our traditionally hands-on rich field experiences with a remote environment,â Dr. Bridget Amory, Director of Student Learning, said. âWhile the experiences will be different this year, we are confident in Abbottâs Mill and their ability to engage our students. We are eager to resume our partnership and provide this opportunity for our students.â

She will demonstrate how to create layers of native plants in a large or small landscape to attract birds throughout the year. These garden ideas with attractive native plants will serve to support wildlife and help reduce pollution in area waterways.
