COVID-19 Policy:
We ask that your child does not attend camp and you notify us right away if they are positive for Covid-19 or if they are symptomatic due to an exposure. They can return on day 6 with proof of a negative test taken on day 5 if symptoms have improved and they are fever free without the use of fever reducing medications. If they test positive on day 5, they can continue testing until testing negative and return the day following the negative test or wait to return on day 11.
