Unlike previous summers, this year’s camps and programs for young kids in Vaughan are going to be virtual.

"At this time, the city is proceeding with online summer camps and programs, beginning in July, in response to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic," the city said.

"There is a wide variety of programming to choose from, and pre-registration is required. The City continues to monitor and assess the status of on-site summer camps and recreation programs based on public health guidelines.”

Registration has already started Monday, June 1 at 8:30 a.m. to help kick off Recreation and Parks Month.
