Abstract

COVID-19 made many summer camp professionals cancel their 2020 programs. Summer camp professionals who cancelled, or significantly modified their programs, still have something to do: they have an opportunity to change. In the applied research environment, this new body of information will be fascinating to examine as it could potentially help all camps embrace the value of certain strategies, messaging and crisis management concepts to improve relationships and broaden the value of the camp experience.
