Arriving at Camp

Pre-Camp Screening Health Check Policy

Prior to arriving at camp, each camper and camp staff are asked to complete a daily pre-screening health check for 14 days (two weeks). A form will be provided in your registration confirmation packet that will help you track camper’s temperature, monitor for symptoms, and signs of illness. If your camper is experiencing any signs or symptoms of illness, please stay home and reschedule your session.
