This guide has been updated.
We already know the bad news: Bored kids, harried parents, days when time slows to a standstill. And after being out of school buildings since mid-March in many places, kids are now staring at 10 or more weeks of summer, without even the structure of online school activities. Many in-person camps are canceled. And even for the camps that are open, parents may be hesitant to send their kids into a swarm of peers where social distancing guidelines will be difficult to enforce or quickly forgotten. But here’s the good news: Museums, libraries, arts organizations, private companies, celebrities and many others are creating online content for kids or offering free access to existing resources. Many more online portals and entertaining apps have been with us all along but never seemed more relevant.
