\nRecreation Departments<\/strong>
\n Summer camps are opening fully for in-person. Registrations are at, or above, pre-pandemic levels for many. Parents want their kids to attend in-person camps. Very few or no virtual camps are being held. Waiting lists are sprouting up for limited social distancing activities, like tennis. About the summer session, \u201cIt\u2019s been more successful than anticipated,\u201d reports Jill Korsok of Pepper Pike, Ohio. Some seniors are reluctant to go back to senior centers, but less reluctant to go to other facilities, says Joseph Petrella of Chandler, Arizona.
\nPublic Schools Community Education<\/strong>
\n Summer registrations are back, ahead of two summers ago. Half day youth camps are a hit. Not back yet is child care. Rooms are exceeding capacity, so wait lists are starting. Online continues to be popular. \u201cSome adults don\u2019t want to come back yet,\u201d reports Lisa Rucinski of Newton, Massachusetts. \u201cSummer registrations are looking good compared to three years ago,\u201d adds Jenny Bodurka of Minnetonka, Minnesota.
\nUniversity Continuing Education<\/strong>
\n The picture is mixed in terms of virtual vs. in-person classes, as university continuing educators are looking past summer to the big fall session. Online will definitely continue for a number of professional development programs that have been hot online, reports Sunshine Barber of the University of Texas at Austin, Texas. While the campus will return to in-person classes, continuing education will remain all online because it has worked so well and been so successful online, says Paula Hogard of Framingham State University in Framingham, Massachusetts. In-person will start back up in June, reports Chad Holbrook of Weber State University in Orem, Utah, and a new issue of c.e. staff working from home, office and\/or shared office is emerging, he says.
\nCommunity College Continuing Education<\/strong>
\n While the return to campus is \u2018on,\u2019 many classes are doing well online and will continue to be offered online. Kids\u2019 College for summer is back in person. \u201cAlmost full,\u201d says Gary Girard of Metropolitan College, Omaha, Nebraska, adding that ten is now full as compared to 20 previously because of social distancing. Diane Peart of Broward Community College in Ft. Lauderdale is also seeing high Kids\u2019 College numbers, remarking that \u201cParents just want to drop Johnny off.\u201d Scott Cashman of Harper College in Palatine, Illinois, is reporting that LERN\u2019s UGotClass registratins are \u201cway up,\u201d and Kendall Harris of Santa Barbara Community College says that there is also a return to camps. Almost all are reporting some or many online classes for fall in addition to in-person classes. And Elaine Chapman of Pasadena City College in Pasadena, California, says \u201cWe\u2019re morphing\u201d back into working from the office.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
