Summer camps for ages 8-14 will begin on July 6th. Because of the difficulty maintaining appropriate social distancing with younger groups, we will not be holding camps for ages 7 and under. In order to mitigate the risk of coronavirus exposure, we are implementing the following changes to our camp operations: • Children with existing health conditions or compromised immune systems should not attend camps. • Camp groups will be smaller this season with a lower total number of camp participants and a higher staff-to-camper ratio of 1:8. Drop-off and pick-up procedures will be adjusted. • Intermingling between camp groups will be minimized and campers will not share communal supplies or toys. • We will not be conducting field trips and there will be no swimming. • All activities will be structured to minimize contact between campers and social distancing will be continuously encouraged. • Campers will spend more time engaged in play outside during appropriate weather conditions. • We will have hand sanitizer stations and designated hand-washing times. • Staff members will wear face coverings. Campers will also be encouraged to wear them except during outdoor or physical activities. • Additional cleaning and sanitation practices will be implemented. • Temperature and verbal health checks with the parent/guardian will be conducted daily before the camper can enter. We will also do an afternoon temperature check that a supervisor will sign off on. • If a child develops symptoms associated with COVID-19, they will be isolated, and they will have to be picked up within 2 hours. There will be a strict 72-hour sick policy. If a child has a fever, they cannot return until they are 72 hours fever free without the aid of medicine. • All staff and participants will be strongly encouraged to get tested before participating in camp and continue to be tested periodically while attending camp. • Campers who do not consistently follow safety directives from staff regarding distancing, hand washing, and other expect behaviors may be disenrolled. • If your child requires inclusion services to participate in summer camp please contact the ADA Coordinator as soon as possible to work out the details of your child’s needs and ensure that supports will be in place before the start of camp. The way we operate our camps may continue to change throughout the summer as the Commonwealth and our local public health officials offer additional guidance. Please feel free to reach out to the camp director at your child’s camp site at any time with any questions you may have.

In March 2019, the Prince William County Department of Parks, Recreation and Tourism began utilizing an online system to maintain medical, emergency and participant information for all day camp programs. ePACT is a system that is designed to create efficiencies for both customers and staff in maintaining confidential information in a secure and safe manner. ePACT maintains the same levels of security as online banking, and limits access only to the administrators who have been assigned privileges. Through ePACT, you will be able to create your own accounts, upload and complete the required forms giving DPRT the necessary information for your child(ren). You will continue to have easy access to this system to update your account as needed. For our administrators, this system will allow quick access to pertinent participant information, decrease the need for paper copies making our programs more “green” and give administrators a variety of ways to communicate with you regarding program updates, alerts and requests for information.
