Westport Parks and Recreation Director Jennifer Fava announced today that the town has decided not to hold the RECing Crew and Camp Compo programs this summer due to the COVID-19 health emergency.
“Due to the many restrictions placed upon camps by the state, the limited number of children that could be served, limitations of our facilities, the challenge of social distancing, and the new unknowns related to Pediatric Inflammatory Multisystem Syndrome, we are concerned about our ability to provide these programs in a safe manner,” Fava said.
“Additionally, they would not be the camp experiences that our campers and parents have come to expect.”
Other Parks and Recreation summer programs are currently being evaluated and restructured to meet the necessary requirements, she said. “Information on these programs and registration will be provided as soon as they are finalized,” she said.
