[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There WILL be camps and pools and summer sports this summer. Don’t worry. [/quote]

The coding camp mine was supposed to do just canceled.  Girl Scout camp canceled.  My daughter's music school sent out an email that they will offer virtual lessons for 25% off the normal fee but there will be no in-person lessons through at least June 30.

Two sports camps my sons always do during the summer canceled.

Our pool may open June 20 but that's not a given.  If it does open, it will be first come first served limited capacity.

The gym where my DD teaches gymnastics each summer isn't having summer sessions, just privates.  The local rec center where my son is a lifeguard is closed and will follow the VA Governor's order to remain that way until at least June 10 when they will reevaluate things.

I saw on FB that the karate place my one kid used to take lessons at has canceled their summer camp.  That's a BIG one in my area because they are a popular summer choice for working parents.  The kids don't just don't karate there.  They also do arts & crafts, STEM projects, field trips, etc.

If I was a parent of elementary school-aged kids, I'd be freaking out right now to try to line up care and coverage for summertime!  [/quote]

Well mine are 11 and 8 and I'm not freaking out. If camps are cancelled, it's obviously not safe enough to go into the office. My company has no expectations for me to return until it is totally safe and when I'm comfortable. Our team has already decided we will likely not return to the office in 2021 since many of us take metro (it helps that most of us are virtual anyway, I WFH a few times a week before all this).

I think companies that are fighting this WFH thing will have to give leeway if parents don't have camps. [/quote]

I don’t understand how childcare (or lack thereof) is your company’s responsibility. [/quote]

Seriously. Why parents think that they should get extra benefits just because they decided to procreate is beyond me. [/quote]

So schools and camps closed down to save older Americans even though most parents and kids are super low risk, so now those same older bosses say screw you - this is your problem? Typical selfish boomer shit.
