COVID DETAILS (UPDATED JULY 11, 2022)

COVID POLICIES AND PROCEDURES

We would like to make sure you are aware of the Covid precautions that we are adopting which includes specific requirements from Camp Daniel Boone https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bUHOz6maB-M

These precautions are intended to protect campers as best as we practically can from communicable diseases known to occur in summer camps.

Pre-departure:

· Please monitor for symptoms of a communicable disease for 72 hours before departure. See list of symptoms below. If these symptoms are present, please do not attend camp. This stipulation comes directly from Camp Daniel Boone.

· All participants irrespective of vaccination status are required to provide proof of a negative Covid test (PCR or Rapid) taken within 3 days of departure to Camp Daniel Boone. ( July 14th, 15th or 16th - No later than 5:30pm on Saturday July 16th )

***Please upload an image of the participant's negative covid test (rapid or PCR) using this link: https://forms.gle/8DuEQLS8a5zft9CZ6 and indicate date and time it was done.

*** If you’re absolutely unable to upload using the provided link, please a text message to 404 973 8631 with : 1) name of attendee 2)if the attendee has any symptoms and 3) an image of the negative Covid test.

· If the participant reports symptoms of new nasal congestion or mild non-specific new symptoms beyond those listed below, please perform a PCR test even if a rapid test is negative. Please do not attend camp if the participant has any of the listed symptoms below.

· The use of masks in indoor spaces or during transportation by car is optional and left to the discretion of parents and participants. Given that a large number of scouts will be sharing rides in designated cars, mandatory Covid testing prior to departure will help protect each other.

In Camp protocol:

· Camp Daniel Boone Health lodge staff will speak with each camper upon arrival to ensure that they are feeling healthy. If there are any concerns at screening, the camper will be pulled aside for a more in-depth assessment.

· Campers who develop symptoms at Camp Daniel Boone will be tested for Covid 19 and be sent home if positive. Any symptoms consistent with a communicable disease will require the camper to be isolated and sent home or higher level of medical care if necessary. Other close contacts will be monitored for symptoms while at Camp Daniel Boone.

Post Camp:

· Please monitor for symptoms for 7 days after returning from camp. If you develop symptoms and test positive for Covid-19 within 7 days after camp, please contact Troop 77 summer camp medical officers to let us know at pkandiah@gmail.com

Symptom Monitoring:

Monitor for symptoms 72 hours before camp. If you have these symptoms or exposures, PLEASE STAY HOME. This is a requirement from Camp Daniel Boone.

1. Fever over 99.5

2. Cough

3. Unusual Fatigue

4. Difficulty breathing

5. Chills

6. New loss of taste or smell

7. Unexplained muscle aches

8. Sore throat

9. Persistent new headache

10. Vomiting

11. Diarrhea

12. Positive Covid 19 Diagnosis

13. Being recently exposed to anyone with communicable disease.

At-home tests are acceptable and are readily available.

· At-home tests are readily available everywhere right now, and most insurance plans will reimburse the purchase price. Free tests are also available through USPS here: https://special.usps.com/testkits. Some prescription plans will deliver tests to your home at no cost. For example, Express Scripts will provide up to 8 tests per insured person per month: https://www.express-scripts.com/covid-19/resource-center.

These precautions are aimed at mitigating the spread of Covid-19 or other communicable disease. The lag in the ability of a rapid test to detect Covid-19 in mild symptoms or asymptomatic infections somewhat limits the effectiveness of this strategy. This is however the most practical and objective approach we have at this time. Please contact Prem Kandiah pkandiah@gmail.com with any questions or concerns. Prem Kandiah and Jeff Rogers will be serving as Troop 77 medical officers for summer camp.

WHAT? 

Summer Camp means more in a Scout’s life than all the meetings in the year put together. The days in camp mean physical fitness, fellowship, and fun. Scouts will have the opportunity to complete requirements for rank advancement, earn merit badges, challenge themselves on High Adventure Treks, and participate in many fun activities.

WHEN? 

We are signed up for the week of July 17 - 23, 2021 (Sunday-Saturday). We are week #7 at camp.

WHERE? 

Camp Daniel Boone, located at 3647 Little East Fork Rd, Canton, NC 28716

Summer camp Options




Merit Badge Class Selection Form

Complete this to select merit badge classes and activities. Due by March 29

adult LEADERS!

Three options for Adults!

Adult/parent leadership IS A MUST at the Troops' campsites. Therefore, we need some parent volunteers to make the week successful. Within the Troop Scout fee, we have priced up to 6 adults staying for free to support the Summer Camp program. If more adults are interested than spots available, the Troop Leadership will determine which adults will participate, with priority given to those adults who have given the most time and effort to the Troop. 

Review all the Summer Camp info for Leaders in the 2022 Leaders Guide, which includes info on adult programs. 


waivers

Click the link to print and sign the waiver for any activity your scout may be interested in. We will then have it on file. 

Waiver - Whitewater rafting waiver.  Due by March 29, with registration

Medical Forms

Summer camp requires Medical Forms A/B1/B2/C for all Scouts and Adults and a CLEAR copy of the front and back of the scout/adult attending insurance card.

This was a huge issue in year's past and is a REQUIREMENT, not an option.  Your scout will not depart with us on the trip if the forms have not been received.

Scan and keep a copy of these forms as you and your scout are responsible to ensure they are up-to-date each year. 

Prescription Medication?

If your scout will need prescription medication during the week you will need to:

Medication Administration Form 

Complete fully and bring during check-in on July 16

dietary request or special needs?

The menu at Camp Daniel Boone is primarily high calorie-high carbohydrate, so not the place to start a diet! Beginning with the summer of 2022, CDB food service will only be able to fulfill special dietary requests for vegetarian and/or faith-based diets. We ask that individuals with special dietary needs bring their own specialty foods with them to Camp to supplement our menu. These specialty foods must be stored, prepped, and cooked in the troop’s campsite. CDB will provide and deliver ice for food storage to campers daily. Due to contamination concerns, we cannot grant access to the Camp Kitchen for food preparation, storage, or cooking. If you wish to communicate directly with the kitchen team, you may do so via email specialneeds4cdb@gmail.com. Be sure to include your troop number and week attending. Once summer camp begins, it is best to call the dining hall: (828) 235-2776

A word about peanuts: Camp Daniel Boone does not serve peanuts as part of the regular menu. However, that does not mean there will not be nuts in certain items at camp, such as prepackaged cookies, ice cream flavors as well as other items sold in the trading post. Additionally, wrapped peanut butter and jelly sandwiches will be available to Scouts during mealtimes in the dining hall. We will gladly check labels as needed and encourage your Scout to do the same. Please encourage your Scout to take personal responsibility for checking labels and making safe food choices.

If an attending adult has a special needs request eg, needs an electric outlet for medical equipment then please complete the form below and turn in with your registration

Swim Test?

Swim tests will be performed at Camp Daniel Boone upon arrival. This is different than past Summer Camps. 

Cookies/snacks

There is a long standing tradition for parents to make snacks (cookies, brownies, bacon for the adults, etc) to send with us for the week. We give these out to scouts that did a good deed, as a daily pick me up, and just because. You do not have to send anything but thanks to those that do.

Mail Call

Scouts LOVE to receive mail and packages from home.  Please send packages in enough time for them to arrive during the week.  Please send mail and packages to:
