CHESAPEAKE, Va. Governor Ralph Northam announced Thursday he would be lifting the restriction of overnight summer camps across Virginia on May 1.
That was good news for places like Triple R Ranch, which experienced a quiet year.
Duane Plummer, the executive director of the ranch, said last summer they only had 380 campers, which was about a 70% decrease from their usual number. It was all due to the overnight portion of their business being closed to adhere to COVID-19 restrictions.
