HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY, Fla. — Hillsborough County Parks and Recreation 2020 summer camp programs have been canceled due to the coronavirus.
"The decision was made to protect the safety of children, their families, and Parks & Recreation staff who lead the camps. The closures align with a decision this week by Hillsborough County Public Schools to cancel in-person summer classes," the county wrote in a news release.
The county says parents who pre-registered their kids fill receive a full refund for the sessions they paid for.
Hillsborough County's summer programming typically began the first week of June and ran in a series of two-week sessions during the summer.
To fill the void, the county said it will be developing virtual programming to engage and educate kids through the summer months.
