Select Summer Camps To Be Offered In Falls Church

FALLS CHURCH, VA — The Falls Church Recreation and Parks Department announced certain summer camps will happen in July. A decision on August camps will be made by July 20.

After a comprehensive review, the department allowed some camps to proceed. Camps will follow rules based on guidance from the governor, Virginia Department of Social Services, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and more. Indoor camps are limited to 22 people and outdoor camps are limited to 50 people, including staff.

Social distancing will be enforced for campers and staff while accounting for the care and developmental needs of children. Before being allowed into camp each day, participants must pass a morning health check.

Staff will wear face coverings indoors and when within six feet of others. Campers will need to bring face coverings and wear one within six feet of another person. Face covering use is encouraged but not required for campers indoors.

First priority for camps will be given to essential workers employed by the City of Falls Church and Falls Church City Schools, and the next priority is essential workers who live in the City of Falls Church.

The city previously canceled all summer camps through July 2, with the exception of the Summer Fun Playground Program from June 22 to Aug. 14. A modified extended care program is planned only for campers in the Summer Fun Program.

The department is opening registration for July camps and waitlist registrations for August camps. See an updated list of camp offerings here.
