The Owensboro Family YMCA will not be hosting its traditional YMCA summer camp in 2020.
“We are disappointed that we will not be able to serve the community through our long-standing summer camp program, especially during a time when children are craving socialization and parents are looking for childcare options,” said John Alexander, president and CEO. “With the governor’s restrictions, our timeline simply doesn’t enable staff recruitment, hiring and training or affordable pricing for families.”
Alecxander said there is also the projected difficulty of enforcing social distancing.
Child care for ages 3-12 will continue to operate at the Owensboro YMCA for families of health care workers, essential employees and first responders.
To sign up for essential child care, call 270-926-9622 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Monday through Friday.
