SUMMER 2021 COVID-19 PROTOCOLS

As a method of ensuring the safety and health of our campers and staff, we will require the following as it regards to testing:

• • • Families must test up to 7 days prior to leaving home.
    • Campers and staff will then test again within 4 days of arriving at camp.
    • Campers and staff will be tested once more during each camp session.

In the case of a positive test result, that individual will have to quarantine on site for the CDC recommended period of time. The quarantined individual(s) will have plenty of activities and ways to have fun. The exposed ‘pod’ will be monitored for symptoms and regularly tested to prevent any spread. 

Masks have proven to be highly effective in preventing the spread of COVID-19 when they are properly worn within proximity of others. The following protocols are required:

• • • All campers and staff must bring multiple appropriate masks to camp and wear them at the required times.
    • Until all tests are received and confirmed to be negative, all campers and staff are required to wear masks except when eating, bathing, or in their quarters. 
    • Campers and staff are required to wear masks when indoors except in their own living quarters. When outside and appropriately distanced, campers and staff can have their masks off.

Campers will be split into two separate pods based off of age. Each pod will have their own camp counselors to maximize efficacy of social distancing protocol.

Camp Reece has ensured that there will be a full-time nurse on camp premises at all times. 

We have developed robust cleaning practices that will be strictly abided by to further limit transmissions. The practices are as follows:

• • • Clean and disinfect frequently touched surfaces within the camp facility and any shared transportation vehicles at least daily or between use as much as possible. Use of shared objects should be limited when possible or cleaned between use.
    • Develop a schedule for increased, routine cleaning and disinfecting.
    • Cleaning products should not be used near children and staff should ensure that there is adequate ventilation when using these products to prevent children or themselves from inhaling toxic fumes.
    • Ensure safe and correct use and storage of cleaners and disinfectants, including storing products securely away from children. Use products that meet EPA disinfection criteria. 
    • Use gloves when removing garbage bags or handling and disposing of trash. Wash hands after removing gloves.
    •
