COVID-19 and summer camp planning

[Anonymous]

I was done signing up for camps at the end of January, who are you people who still haven’t signed up?.... lol


Hahah totally

Me! I used to have my son all signed up for fun and exciting camps by the end of January, but now that he's 10 he just wants to do whatever rec center camp near our house his friends are going to, and to walk there and back with them.

I booked one camp that requires early signup back in December, but I still need to round out a couple weeks in August. Have the camps picked out for the most part, but holding off on booking. Spoke to someone at one camp who said that they usually don't come close to filling up until May, and that was before CV19, so I don't think they will fill up anytime soon!

For parents with kids that have signed up for spring break camp with no refund policy, would you let your kids go or stay at home with no refund (that means parents have to take PTO)? It is indoor gym camp.

We booked most of our camps (6 weeks) last month. Half our summer is still open.

I’m confused about why you wouldn’t sign your kid up. If they cancel the camp, wouldn’t they refund your money??

Not camp-related, but there have been social events cancelled with no refund, and some people have tried to get their cancelled travel refunded to no avail. I'm guessing these stories have people concerned that certain businesses are not waiving their refund policies for COVID-19.

The agreement you signed may not require them to do so. It will probably depend on what costs they are able to recoup.
