  Covid 19 Protocol: 
  

  • Health screenings will occur at check-in. Families will be reminded to keep any children home that have a fever, cough, or if any other family member has had similar symptoms or confirmed diagnosis of exposure to Covid-19 in the past 14 days. In addition, if members of the family have recently traveled or been in contact with people in areas with elevated spread, we will ask that children not participate. 

  • Hand washing will be regularly scheduled.

  • Staff will be masked.

  • Supplies will not be shared to the extent possible and re-usable items will be sterilized every day. 

  • If a confirmed case is identified among staff or campers, families will be notified of the risk of exposure.

  • Adult participants are required to wear masks. Children are encouraged to wear them.
