Camps Canceled Due to Health and Safety Concerns

(Posted May 18, 2020) Reston Association has decided to cancel its traditional summer camps program due to ongoing concerns involving the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. Refunds will be provided to anyone who has already paid for summer camp registration.

Based on information and guidance from Gov. Ralph Northam, the Centers for Disease Control, recreation experts and local agencies, RA concluded that Reston Camps could not operate in a safe and fun manner this summer. Issues involving the potential for community spread of the virus, along with various state and local restrictions and safety guidelines, were taken into consideration by RA staff, as were opinions expressed in a survey of area parents.

As other agencies in Northern Virginia have cancelled or are nearing decisions to cancel summer youth programs, Reston Camps administrators and RA management believe it is in the best interest of area children and families to not proceed with summer camps, which would have begun on June 15. However, the association is exploring the possibility of providing youth enrichment programs that can be executed safely later this summer or early fall.
