Argo Adventure Kids Camp

UPDATE AS OF MARCH 19, 2020: Due to the ongoing impact of the COVID-19, Argo Adventure Kids Camp has been cancelled.

COVID-19 Update

The University of West Florida is working closely with the Florida Department of Health and the Centers for Disease Control, to closely monitor COVID-19 (Coronavirus). Our goal is to protect the health and safety of the campus community by minimizing the potential spread of the virus and keep as many operations and services available to you as possible.

We appreciate your interest in Argo Adventure Kids Camp. Unfortunately, the decision to not host this year's program was made out of concern for the children's health and wellness. This was not an easy decision and we are saddened to not host your children this summer. Families who have already paid deposits will be contacted soon and issued a refund.

We understand that implementing these changes with such limited notice will have broad impacts and will be challenging for many of you, and we appreciate your patience and cooperation. In the meantime, our staff is compiling a list of activities that you can participate in with your family at home. We look forward to Argo Adventure Kids Camp returning in 2021.

Additional information and Frequently Asked Questions are available at uwf.edu/coronavirus. The University will continue providing updates as soon as information is available.
