The county Parks and Recreation Department is re-branding for the summer of 2020 with the slogan,
“Recreating Recreation to Virtual Involvement
for a Healthier and Safer Community Experience”
While the county is not offering traditional summer camps, “virtual camps” are being set up to offer zoom classes for exercise, art instruction, music classes and more. The county will also offer grab-n-go art kits that kids can use at home.
