All of my teens are home for the summer, and many of the camps they were looking forward to have been canceled. I was feeling skeptical about virtual camps but my friend Jesse reached out to me about the camp they are hosting at Camp Good Work House, and I was really excited to see how they've figured out how to make a virtual camp truly interactive and fun.
