SCHOOL'S OUT SUMMER PROGRAM 2020
CANCELLED
Dear School's Out Summer Program 2020 Families,
I first want to thank you for your patience as we waited for the summer camp guidance from the Massachusetts EEC and the Department of Health. Now that I have had the chance to read through all 32 pages of the regulations, I have come to the difficult decision that I will not be able to open the School's out Summer Program this summer. The COVID-19 Pandemic has added a new layer of safety and operating issues that we would not be able to manage in a manner that would adhere to the rules while keeping it fun for the kids.
I apologize in advance for any inconvenience this will cause you and your family. It is not how I hoped that summer would turn out. However, I believe that this was the best decision for the safety of the School's Out Summer Program's campers and staff.
All of the families who pre-registered and paid have been contacted by email. Please get in touch if you have any questions.
Be safe, stay healthy and I hope to see you back at the School's Out Summer Program in 2021.
