Abstrakt: This study examined how the COVID-19 affected the summer activities and environments of children from high- and low-income households. Results show that children from high-income households had access to more enriching activities both before and during the pandemic, even though COVID-19 restricted access to programming for all children. While all families struggled in many ways to make the most of the pandemic summer of 2020, there were silver linings that included more family time and less hectic schedules. The paper also identifies how work-fromhome arrangements and virtual programming that arose during the pandemic could help bridge the opportunity gap moving forward. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
