As Tallahassee emerges from the worst of the COVID-19 pandemic, parents are deciding if and how they are reading to send their kids to camp this summer.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recently released new guidelines saying vaccinated people can stop wearing masks in most situations.
But children under the age of 12 still cannot get the vaccine, so summer camp coordinators are left weighing what other protective measures might be needed to prevent COVID in camps for younger children.
Here are a few of the ways Tallahassee camps are safeguarding their staff and camp-goers this summer.
The Ultimate Summer Guide For Rockford Has Been Released
You and your kids officially have no excuse for being bored this summer.
The Rockford Park District has released their Summer Sports book that perfectly compliments their Summer Camp Guide to make sure you can jam as much activity into this summer as possible.
People are getting vaccinated, masks are flying off, and people are chomping at the bit to get back out and do stuff. You ll want to lock down spots ASAP because they re sure to go fast.
There s A LOT more in the sports guide than I would have thought. There are also discounts and other special deals in the guide that can make this summer a little cheaper. Some of the programs in the guide:
A special program for visitors ages 0-3 and their families, providing caregivers and early learners the chance to experience the children s museum together. Thinkery will host two storytimes and free play that support the social, emotional, and cognitive development of the earliest learners. Capacity limited to allow for social distancing.
Saturdays, 9-11am.
Thinkery, 1830 Simond, 512/469-6200; www.thinkeryaustin.org.
