Published Wednesday, July 7, 2021 5:03PM EDT Some overnight summer camps in Ontario have ditched their typical operations and are offering vacation rentals instead as they attempt to salvage the season. The province allowed overnight camps to open under strict protocols last week as Ontario moved into the second phase of its reopening plan, but some camp owners say they simply weren t given enough time to prepare for their regular summer programing. Sparrow Lake Camp in Severn Bridge, Ont., is among those that decided to pivot to a different model. It is offering what it calls a “Holiday Camp,” where families can rent cabins for a few days and enjoy activities such as sailing and rock climbing.

BARRIE, ONT. After a summer season that saw none last year, overnight camping for youth is back in Ontario. Camp New Moon, located in the Lake of Bays in Muskoka, has welcomed back campers for the first time since the pandemic began. I hear the sounds of kids and laughter. I hear canoes being taken off the racks, says Jack Goodman, the owner and operator of the camp. It s just so great to see camp filled with who it s supposed to be filled with, happy campers and staff! As part of the province s second step of its Roadmap to Reopen Plan, overnight camping is permitted across Ontario. Camp New Moon, which Goodman calls a traditional recreational camp featuring various activities from outdoor water sports to arts and crafts, has introduced a host of new COVID-19 protocols.
