A tremendous collaboration of research and expert medical input went into the creation of our Advanced Safety Plan®, which exceeds recommendations by the CDC, ACA, NIH, and AAP, as well as local and state restrictions which is why ESF is considered one of the safest camps in the United States. We will adjust our plan to meet recommended guidelines and requirements once they are announced and as we get closer to the 2021 summer camp season. A detailed Safety Plan will also be provided prior to camp at Family Orientation. While some of our camp programs will look different this summer, be assured that the in-person camp experiences will still be chock-full of enrichment opportunities and action-packed, fun activities.

Visitors will be screened upon arrival using our daily health screening questionnaire and their temperature will be taken. Visitors will be required to wear a face covering and maintain social distance from all campers and Team Members.
VACCINATIONS We are strongly encouraging our staff be fully vaccinated, prior to the start of camp, for individual and community safety. If vaccinated, Team Members are asked to provide proof of vaccination. In the event that a Team Member is considered a close contact, proof of vaccination will be required in order to be excluded from having to quarantine.
Face Coverings •
•
Face coverings will be worn by campers and staff at all times with exceptions for certain settings or activities. These guidelines are subject to change according to CDC and local health department guidelines. If your face covering is damaged or soiled, or if breathing through the mask becomes difficult, you should remove the face mask, discard it safely, and replace it with a new one. To safely discard your mask, place it in a plastic bag and put it in the trash. Wash your hands after handling the used mask.

Indoor and outdoor spaces throughout campus will be modified to ensure proper social distancing and limited gatherings of campers and Team Members. Outdoor areas will be set-up to provide safe learning and meeting spaces for campers utilizing permanent and temporary structures and equipment. To the extent possible, each group will be designated an area as their "home base" and provided a bunk bin with common camp supplies. This home base will house their backpack, change of clothes, lunch bin, etc... and serves as an inclement weather space for that group. Windows will be open in their home base to increase air flow when possible. The room will be configured to accommodate both seated activities and open meeting/play space. Social distancing will be more flexible within their home base. Specialists will travel to home base areas to conduct their activities. Electives offered by bunk/group to reduce overlap and mixing of groups.
LUNCH, SNACK AND HYDRATION • • • • •
