June 8, 2020

Sacramento summer camp goes virtual during this pandemic crisis! If your plans have changed, virtual summer camps and online classes for kids might just be the best option to keep your kids busy, entertained, and safe this summer.


Virtual summer camps and Sacramento online classes for kids

Some, if not most Sacramento summer camps for kids, have already announced they won’t open this year. But that doesn’t mean your summer plans have gone entirely out the window. Going virtual is the new normal, especially now that we are still facing a pandemic crisis.

Since mask-wearing, frequent hand-washing, and social distancing remain the best ways to get rid of the coronavirus, virtual summer camps and Sacramento online classes for kids are the best way to help them stay safe and have some fun this summer.

Despite the social constraint, children can still experience after-schoolyear fun with virtual summer camps or through Sacramento online classes for kids. Fortunately, several Sacramento summer camps have shifted their programs online. Their facilitators are well-trained in virtual engagement and can easily teach your kids with different learnings.

The activities they set on each course are well-planned and being facilitated with the mindset that your kids must still experience a traditional summer camp even if it’s just in front of your computer and within the safe facilities of your home.

Virtual summer camps, as well as online classes for kids, are designed to have a captivating, self-exploring, fun learning summer experience while practicing safe social distancing.

In some ways, virtual summer camps may even have a bit of an edge over an in-person camp or classes. Your kids will have lessons at their own pace. They can have a one-on-one encounter with their counselors or instructors. And most of all, they are less expensive than the usual summer camp.

With our list of virtual summer camps and online classes for kids in the Sacramento area, you certainly have plenty of options to choose which one caters to your child’s passion and interest.
