With social distancing still in effect, summer is going to look a lot different this year, and that includes summer camps. Summer camps—if they are choosing to still run in-person programs—will have to drastically cut the number of children they can accommodate. Because of this many day camps are choosing to run online programs to keep costs down and stay afloat.
We’ve rounded up 10 summer camps that are offering online programs that will help keep your kids busy and entertained throughout the summer times.
Brain Power
This summer Brain Power will be offering a range of exciting and educational online courses for many grade levels in Language Arts, Math and Problem Solving, Critical Reading and Writing, and Science.
