Pre-Arrival Protocol

Vaccination is not a requirement to attend camp.
During the week prior to camp, campers (and their parents), teen staff, and adult volunteers are advised to daily screen themselves for symptoms that are new or not caused by a known or existing condition.
- Symptoms may include: Fever or chills, Cough, Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing, Fatigue, Muscle or body aches, Headache, New loss of taste or smell, Sore throat, Congestion, Runny nose, Nausea, vomiting, or Diarrhea. For more information about symptoms, see https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/symptoms-testing/symptoms.html
Campers (and their parents), teen staff, and adult volunteers are advised not to come to camp if they test positive, have symptoms, or have had close contact with someone who has COVID or any other communicable illness within 5 days prior to camp.

What are we doing to assure a safe environment for all participants?

Daily Symptom monitoring

All people at camp will be reminded of COVID symptoms. Print and post signs, etc. https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/downloads/COVID19-symptoms.pdf
Campers will be reminded to report symptoms to their teen leaders or camp health supervisor
Teen leaders/staff should verbally check in with campers to screen for symptoms

Masks

Masks are not required for general activities indoors or outdoors, based on current California state health orders.
No one should be discouraged from wearing a mask if they choose, as long as a mask would not create a hazard (such as during swimming).
Masks could be required in some situations. For example, in the camp infirmary, or if there is a positive COVID case, persons who were close contacts may be required to wear a mask to prevent further exposure.
A supply of masks will be maintained at camp.

Sleeping Quarters (Indoor & Outdoor)

Access to the sleeping quarters will be limited to those who are assigned to that area.
Avoid having visitors or parents enter the assigned spaces.

Position sleepers head-to-toe or toe-to-toe to maximize the distance between heads/faces
- For bunk beds, position the head of the camper in the top bunk opposite the position of the camper in the bottom bunk.
- For side-by-side beds, position the head of the camper in one bed opposite the position of the camper in the adjacent bunk.
- For end-to-end beds, position the toes of each camper close to the other camper’s toes.

Beds, bunks, mats, cots, bedding, and other sleeping materials will be assigned to individuals and not be shared.
If there is a need to move or use another sleeping location, it will be sanitized before and after use.

Sleeping Outdoors

If possible, create at least six feet of space between beds, but if utilizing head-to-toe orientation then four feet is acceptable. This is not addressed to sleeping outdoors.
