Listed below are our current 2024 Covid and Flu Guidelines. Please realize that these guidelines are subject to change at any time. Updated 4/12/24.
Vaccines
We will not require Covid vaccinations for our staff or campers.
Pre-Camp Testing & Protocols
Campers will NOT be required to take a Covid Test before they arrive at camp this summer.
If a camper does test positive for Covid or Flu within 24 hours before arrival, they must have improving symptoms and no fever for 24 hours, without using fever-reducing medications, before they can come to camp.
Opening Day
Camper temperatures will be checked upon arrival. Campers with a temperature of 100.4 or higher (consistently) will be turned away. Campers may return to camp when their temperature returns to normal for 24 hours without the use of fever-reducing medications.
Campers with a temperature in the range of 99.5 – 100.3 (consistently) will be kept at camp under staff supervision until it goes down. If not down in 12 hours, the camper will be sent home.
Response Management of a Covid or Flu Case at Camp
A camper or staff member identified as having a likely case of Covid or Flu will remain in an isolation room as part of Camp’s communicable disease plan. Camp's medical team, made up of licensed medical professionals, reserve the right to diagnose campers with or without a rapid test.
If a camper has convincing Covid or Flu symptoms, including fever:
We may choose to do a rapid test. We will contact the parents of the child.
We will likely ask the parents to come and get their child within 24 hours. We will offer a refund for the unused portion of their tuition.
If a staff member has convincing Covid or Flu symptoms, including fever:
We may choose to do a rapid test.
The staff member will be isolated at camp or leave the property.
If both staff members in a cabin have convincing symptoms, then the campers in that cabin may have to go home. In this case, a prorated refund would be available.
Face Covering Protocols
We will not be requiring campers to wear masks while at camp, but your child is welcome to wear a mask when they feel they need to.
If you wish for your child to wear a mask, then we ask that you communicate your request to your child. Please know that we will not be able to adequately police these requests throughout our property. Please have these discussions with your child before he/she gets to camp.
Parent Communication
Pre-Camp: Our most up-to-date policies will be posted online. These policies may change as updated information becomes available.
During Camp: We plan to communicate confirmed COVID or Flu cases only to the parents of the child showing convincing symptoms.
We can’t wait for summer 2024. We are thrilled at the possibilities this summer offers. We know that your children need camp and all that it offers. As always please feel free to email, call or chat with us online if you have any questions.
