<\/p>\nNormally, summer in Terre Haute with kids means camps, camping, playdates, swimming, and road trips. But summer 2020 is not shaping up to be “normal.”<\/p>\n
To get a feel for how families are feeling, we polled our people (that’s you!) with a quick survey. And the results are in! (Click links to visit other posts on our site with relevant info.)\u00a0<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
For June:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n 17% of Terre Haute families plan to visit an indoor entertainment venue like a movie theater, museum, library, gym, skate rink, or indoor playplace.\u00a0<\/p>\n In contrast, 89% are ready and willing to go to an outdoor event or venue like a playground, drive-in, farmers’ market, mini golf, or bike park.\u00a0<\/p>\n 50% of those polled will eat at a local restaurant with outdoor seating<\/a> and 31% are willing to dine-in at a restaurant.\u00a0<\/p>\n For July:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n 30% of those polled are hoping to attend an indoor entertainment venture, and 44% are hoping to eat inside at a restaurant. 66% of people would like to enjoy outdoor dining and 91% of those polled are willing to patron an outdoor event or venue.<\/p>\n We asked for anonymous feedback. Here are are a few things we heard::\u00a0<\/p>\n “In general, it\u2019s the larger crowds that I\u2019m more hesitant to join anytime soon. Most places right now where we\u2019ve been in smaller groups seem to be doing a good job of keeping people distant enough.”<\/p>\n “I\u2019m hoping July brings more answers about the spread of Covid19 and maybe lower numbers.”<\/p>\n “We are young and otherwise healthy, so not especially concerned about the effects on our family if contracted but want to consider the risk we pose for others (there are 6 of us).”<\/p>\n “I do not think it is safe to be either on an inside venue or outside large gathering. If we start large scale testing, and mask wearing becomes mandatory, I might re-access our decision.”<\/p>\n “While I would love to eat at a restaurant, with 2 small children it doesn\u2019t seem worth the risk. And I want to take my kids to indoor places, it just seems hard with little hands touching too many things and they can\u2019t be mindful of people.”<\/p>\n “COVID-19 is still extremely prevalent, and I don\u2019t want to put my children at-risk when it\u2019s unnecessary . We will do some outdoor activities that allow for social distancing like cook-outs, canoeing, biking at the park.”<\/p>\n “We can’t just hide inside until a vaccine is found. Almost half who get it are asymptomatic , many have very mild symptoms. While I most certainly don’t want to pass it along to my parents, the more young, healthy people who get it, the more immunity there is out there.”<\/p>\n “I feel with common sense and taking personal responsibility, I would feel safe choosing to participate in these activities.”<\/p>\n That is the million dollar question! We know that several full-time camps are available, because many, many people need childcare. If you’re looking for options, we have a list!<\/a><\/p>\nWhat about 2020 summer camps in Terre Haute?\u00a0<\/h3>\n
