Montgomery County Recreation will have new safety standards in place for all programs and services as it plans for eventual reopenings following the COVID-19 health crisis. It has canceled all summer camps and programs and is refunding customer pre-payments while also developing contingency plans for new camps in a COVID-19 environment. In addition, facility rentals through May 31 have been canceled and registrations for summer activities and classes have been postponed until further notice.
Montgomery County Recreation is continuing to follow Maryland and Montgomery County guidelines regarding the reopening of facilities and programs. It is working on restructuring a new set of summer camp offerings if guidelines will eventually allow those programs this year. The department also has launched a new “Virtual Rec Room” that offers hundreds of ideas for creative family fun.
“Our team is ready to provide services and welcome the community back to our facilities, but we will not do so until it is safe,” said Director of Montgomery County Recreation Robin Riley. “Once we receive guidance from State officials, we will work closely with our local public health officials to determine the appropriate methods and timing to reopen our facilities and programs.”
