Coronavirus Update
Our Summer at Severn 2020 camps and classes have been cancelled. The decision to cancel these programs has been very difficult to make, as we balance our love of serving you and your children with maintaining the physical health and well-being of our Summer at Severn community. The decision to cancel these classes was made with your family’s well-being foremost in our minds and with the most current guidance from the CDC, as well as from state and local health officials and authorities. We appreciate your family and look forward to serving you with Summer at Severn programming in the future. If you have any questions please email Jennifer Hayman.
