Healthy and Safe Camp The following procedures may be adjusted based on guidance from the CDC or American Camp Association.
Check-In Process
Check-Out Process
We ask that all campers, families, and staff members arrive to camp healthy and well! Check in will be similar to a drive-thru experience where campers will be driven through stations for health screening and luggage drop-off, before saying a quick goodbye in the car and hopping out to join in on the fun!
When you arrive for pick-up, staff will be there to guide you to park. You will be directed to the closing ceremony location. Similar to our checkin process this year, additional health and safety practices have been implemented for the safety of campers, families and staff. Families will pick-up their camper, camper’s luggage, and any memorabilia from camp (arts and crafts, trading post items, etc.) at different stations along the pickup route.
Health Screening
Prior to check-in day, a camp health team member will review the camper’s health history information. During check-in, a camp health team member will conduct a health screening for every camper. Our Camp Health Team members will be wearing personal protective equipment (mask, shield or goggles, gloves, and gown). Then during the screening, the health team member will take the camper’s temperature and inspect child for visible symptoms of COVID-19 in addition to other health screening measures.
Pre-Camp Health History We are continuing to require the completion of a Pre-Camp Health History Form for each camper and staff. This form will be digital to complete prior before arrival at camp through Camp Docs.. This will allow our Camp Health Team to review the information ahead of time, making the check-in process even more efficient.
Camp Modifications Our goal is to continue to offer a traditional camp experience, while staying safe this summer. There may be modifications made to camp, such as cohorting, masking, staggered meal times, etc. We will try our best to balance typical camp activities, programming, and traditions with any health and safety adjustments we have to make.
Symptom Screening Symptom Screening will be implemented during the check-in process. Upon arriving at camp for the week, all campers and staff members will be asked if they feel well and healthy, if they have illness related symptoms, have been diagnosed with COVID-19, are waiting for test results, or have been exposed or in close contact to someone with a confirmed or suspected case.
Non-Pharmaceutical Interventions Non-Pharmaceutical Interventions (NPIs) are communicable disease prevention strategies that do not include medication. NPIs implimented at camp include hand hygiene, cleaning and sanitation, ventilation of facilities, physical distancing, and symptom screening.
