Summer is looking a little different this year, including the trips to summer camp. Although it may be more challenging to find camps as many have been cancelled due to COVID-19, there are still options for some socially distant summer fun. Here are a few places offering virtual and in-person camps or programming in the Bay of Quinte region.
Please contact individual camps for questions and concerns regarding COVID-19 health and safety for camp participants.
Pegasus Cheer Summer Fun
Pegasus Cheer is on a mission to make this summer the best one yet, despite these unprecedented times. Pegasus wants to ensure summer 2020 is filled with loads of fun while working on skills and learning new things.
Kids can learn what it’s like to be part of the circus, become a secret agent, try science experiments or dive into the world of wizards and magic!
