Newtown Township Parks & Recreation is disappointed to announce the cancellation of our 2020 Summer Camps due to the risks associated with the COVID-19 pandemic. These camps include Camp Newtown, Teen Camp, Camp Beechtree, Playground Camp and Sports Camp.
This decision was not easy but our top priority is the safety of all
campers and staff.
Everyone registered will receive a refund for the amount you paid or if you choose to keep your child enrolled in the system, we can offer you the rates you paid this year for next year’s camp. Please let our department know by Monday, June 1st if you are interested in taking advantage of this discount option.
Please note, all registrations made over 120 days ago (on or before
February 1st), will be processed by check and mailed to you within the next 3-4 weeks. Please allow all other refunds, 7-10 business days to process.
We hope to be of service in the near future!
Sincerely,
Newtown Township Parks & Recreation
My survey of local area residents suggests that even with CDC guidelines in place, parents are “not comfortable at all” or “very uncomfortable” sending their children to summer camp this year.
