Health and Safety Measures

We will be following the CDC guidance for Schools and Child Care Programs and guidelines per the NCDHHS.

  • Anyone showing signs of illness of any kind or who may have been exposed to COVID-19 should not be in the facility.

  • Hand hygiene stations will be set up at the entrance of the facility, so that staff and children can clean their hands before they enter.

  • Only children and staff who are required for daily operations and ratio inside the camp facilities will be allowed.

  • A daily health screening of questions on all individuals who are entering the building will be conducted. Each staff and person dropping off children will be asked a set of screening questions. Answering yes to any of the questions will be unable to enter the facility.

  • We support our staff to stay at home as appropriate.

  • We will be following social distancing strategies from CDC Guidance which is required for all Day Camp Settings.

  • We will be following proper hand hygiene guidance for adults and children such as washing hands frequently with soap and water for at least 20 seconds and washing hands upon arrival in the morning, before and after eating meals and snacks, after blowing noses, coughing, or sneezing or when in contact with body fluids, and after toileting.

  • Everyone should avoid touching eyes, nose, and mouth. Additionally, everyone should cover coughs and sneezes with a tissue or an elbow.

  • We will be cleaning and disinfecting frequently touched surfaces, shared tools, supplies, and equipment throughout the day. We will be allowing time for cleaning between activities as well as frequent bathroom breaks and handwashing breaks.
