LETHBRIDGE, AB- At the University of Lethbridge, summer camps are still a go as of right now.

The U of L sent out a release detailing that they are going to take the safety steps and precautions for their famous summer camps.

In normal years, the U of L holds numerous camps that can have 10-200 participants.

Since the COVID-19 pandemic presents challenges to keep any sort of social outing going, the U of L has said it will do whatever it takes to ensure their camps will continue.

The University staff came out to say, “U of L teams are working on scenarios and activities that can be accommodated under current provincial guidelines, how to safely check campers both in and out of the University, what facilities might be available and how to evolve the strategy should the province move into Phase 2 or 3 as the summer progresses.”

“We will continue to monitor the Government of Alberta reopening schedule and guidelines as they evolve and are prepared to alter, adapt or cancel our summer camps as required,” says Valerie Archibald, director of Youth Outreach at the U of L.

“If your in-person summer camp is cancelled, all registrants will receive a full refund of their paid fees.”

In the meantime, U of L staff are working on the creation of a new Mini U online camp initiative for the summer, with registration details to come.
