The thought of no summer camp is a dark one for already frazzled parents, and just as bleak for camp directors crunching numbers on what mass refunds would mean to their financial futures.
With the start of the season approaching, many camps are monitoring the pandemic’s progress, and crunching the numbers on potential mass refunds. Some parents have held off putting money down, with camps extending deadlines for enrollment.
“I feel a mix of unease and irresponsibility sending them to any summer camps,” he said. “Prevention is better than cure, and I want to do my bit to help prevent this virus spreading any more than it needs to.” A new Centers for Disease Control and Prevention report shows that fever, cough and shortness of breath were the most common symptoms of the virus in kids, but occur less often than in adults.

Geoff Blanck owns and operates the Forest Lake Camps in New York’s Adirondacks region, serving 150 to 175 campers at a time. He’s proceeding with preparations for this season, scheduled to start June 28. Todd Rothman, who owns Deerkill Day Camp in New York’s Rockland County, is also planning as if he’ll open, possibly with a delayed start. He usually opens June 29, serving about 800 campers through the summer.
