Some Maine summer camps won’t open this season, while others wait for guidance

PORTLAND PRESS HERALD • May 11, 2020

A dozen or more of Maine’s more than 270 summer camps– including overnight, day and town recreation department camps – have already decided not to open this year. Reasons include the fear of exposing campers, staff and local communities to COVID-19, and worries that they could not meet state restrictions about group sizes and quarantines. Others are hopeful they can open, but are awaiting specific state guidelines and answers to their questions.
