FREEDOM — Carroll County YMCA Camp Huckins and Camp Calumet — both in Freedom — announced last Friday that they are canceling camp this year due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Jody Skelton, Camp Huckins’ retiring executive director, made the announcement May 15 on a video posted on camphuckins.org. “Over the past several weeks, the Camp Huckins Board of Directors, along with the staff, have been carefully reviewing and following guidance from health expert,” said Skelton, who will retire this year after 51 summers at the camp.
She said after much reflection, the board “voted unanimously to cancel our traditional onsite summer program.”
