Scales Lake is a hidden gem in Boonville that offers a beach, playgrounds, boating, camping spots, picnic shelters, petting zoo and even a pavilion.

And they usually also offer summer camp to local kids who want to spend their summers having a blast in nature. But due to COVID-19, summer camp has officially been cancelled at Scales Lake in 2020.

In a Facebook post, they outlined their plan.
