Children’s Camps:
**July 20, 2020 Update: After a great deal of careful consideration, and having examined the recent COVID-19 cases in Skagit County, the Executive Committee of the CMSC Board of Directors has made the decision to cancel our Summer Camps program for 2020. On behalf of the Children’s Museum of Skagit County (CMSC), I want to express how much we appreciate everyone who signed up for camps, and our regret that we’re not able to hold them this year. I will be contacting everyone who had a child or children registered for camps, and making refunds accordingly.**
