Summer Camps Canceled In North Haven

NORTH HAVEN, CT — The Town of North Haven Park and Recreation Summer Day Camp is canceled for this summer due to the risks of the coronavirus pandemic, officials announced Tuesday.

Officials said the decision “came with much thought and consideration as we very much wanted to give our children the availability of the camp experience. It was determined that the risks were too great making camp operationally unattainable.”

“Camp’s main purpose is to give residents an enjoyable and safe place to send their children during the summer but during this concerning time we feel that the situation with COVID-19 would put campers and staff in a vulnerable health situation,” First Selectman Michael Freda said in a statement.

“We understand that many parents rely on our summer recreation programs for their children, however, we feel we must act in the best interest of staff and the many children who participate and their extended families,” the news release states.
