[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kids are in late elementary school and middle school.  Sleep-away camps are starting to be cancelled this week.  Girls scouts just cancelled the entire camp summer.  My daughter's Vermont sleep-away camp just canceled the summer.  Pools are also announcing that they won't open. 
My kid are old enough to stay at home when I work but what the heck are they going to do home alone for 14 weeks?  What about families with young kids?  I suppose it will be a terrific time to be a college babysitter.

The same thing many thousands of kids do every summer who don't go to camp or have a swimming pool.[/quote]

One would assume those kids in normal times could at least play with other kids, go to the movies or a store, go out for ice cream, at a minimum. I have similar aged kids and it’s going to be really challenging if camps are cancelled. Yes, they’ll read and do some chores and that will be like 2 hours if the day at most. I will take advantage of some of the virtual classes/camps, I’m hoping maybe tennis courts will reopen and there could be lessons, but it’s basically not going to be a good situation.[/quote]
