About 20 million children in America attend summer camp every year, according to America Association (ACA). They look forward to(spend) time there with friends.
But with social-distancing（社交距离) rules in United States, many summer camps face difficult decisions. Can they (safe) welcome campers this year? Do they need to close for the season? Or should change how they carry out their programs?
"Most camps are asking not only when they're going to open, also how they're going to open," says Tom Rosenberg, president of the ACA. He says that many camps (wait) on instructions from the government now.
"The state's summer camps could open June," Beth Bye, the leader of the Connecticut Office of Early Childhood, said a week ago. "But there need to be (strict) health rules than ever. Most programs will not (allow) to have more than 30 kids. "
Bye added that camps are important for both kids and (parent). "For many families," she told the New York Times, "summer camp is their childcare."
