Cool Kingston Kids’ Camps
The question crosses every parent’s mind: what should my child do with their free time this summer? Summer is a great time for kids to be able to relax and have a break from the everyday stressors that school brings. Some kids may enjoy the arts, others reading and writing, and some may prefer sports and exercise. No matter what your kids enjoy, there is a local camp to keep them busy! All in-person camps being offered have put procedures in place to ensure the safety of campers and staff. These procedures include, but are not limited to, the use of appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), disinfecting protocols, physical distancing, and the absence of overnight camps.
