COVID Policy

What happens if my child is exposed to someone with COVID-19?

If your child has had close contact with someone who tested positive for COVID-19:

• If no symptoms develop, they may attend camp, regardless of vaccination status.

  • We recommend they monitor for symptoms for 10 days.

  • A Day 5 COVID test is recommended but not required.

  • If feasible, wearing a mask indoors for 5 days after exposure is encouraged.

• If your child develops any symptoms, follow the guidance below for symptomatic campers.

 

What if my child has COVID-19 symptoms?

If your child is showing symptoms commonly associated with COVID-19 (fever, cough, sore throat, etc.):

To return to camp, one of the following must be met:

• Be fever-free for 24 hours (without medication) AND have a negative rapid or PCR test,
  OR

• Receive a confirmed alternate diagnosis from a licensed healthcare provider,
  OR

• Stay home for at least 5 days and return once symptoms have improved and they have been fever-free for 24 hours.

 

What if my child tests positive for COVID-19?

If your child receives a positive COVID-19 test result:

• They must isolate for at least 5 full days from symptom onset or the positive test date (if asymptomatic).

• They may return to camp on Day 6 only if:

  • They are fever-free for 24 hours without medication,

  • Symptoms have improved, AND

  • They provide a negative rapid or PCR test.

• It is strongly recommended that they wear a mask indoors through Day 10.
