SUMMER FUN GUIDE 2020

LETTER FROM THE EDITOR

PAM EUBANKS SENIOR EDITOR

E

very summer, one of my favorite work activities is strapping on my camera and walking into the unknown of summer camp.

Of course, many of them have familiar elements — arts and crafts, swimming and sports — and others are more unique, such as snorkeling in the keys.

One year, I walked into the Lakewood Ranch YMCA’s gym ready to snap photos and

saw more than 50 boys playing basketball-inspired games.

Where were the girls? I figured I had to be missing something and began to explore. I found the girls in another room stretched out on their bellies, coloring wildly. There was barely room to walk.

Sadly, scenes like this one largely will be gone this summer.

The COVID-19 pandemic has wreaked havoc on our local economy, but it also has made it nearly impossible to plan events, particularly ones with large groups.

That’s been the challenge with this year’s Summer Fun Guide, our all-inclusive listing of area summer camps.

As you can imagine, the pandemic has forced entities that normally offer summer camps to reconsider their next steps. Can they offer

them at all? Should they shift to a virtual-only format? Can they accommodate social distancing guidelines? When will restrictions for social distancing be lifted?

These questions largely remain unanswered.

As a consequence, many organizations have canceled their summer camps altogether. Some are still in “limbo,” trying to decide what to do, and others are proceeding, so long as they are allowed.

This year’s camp guide is a reflection of these circumstances.

Even after pushing back our publication deadline four times, there are still organizations that simply do not have a solid plan in place.

This year’s guide will reflect what we know at the time of our production.

Some camps might add vir-

tual options at a later date.

Some might cancel or change their offering dates. But what we can provide you now is the best snapshot we have of camp offerings of the area.

We also have included a listing of camps that have been confirmed as canceled, so if you see your beloved camp on the list, you know where it stands.

If you do not see your favorite camp on the canceled list or in our listing, then it means it did not yet have enough information for us to include it in this year’s listing.

As always, our goal is still to be a complete, best-of-class guide in this area, so we hope you will find it to be just that.

We wish you health, safety, fun and plenty of adventure this summer!
