Vaccination Policy Pre-Camp

The following vaccines are required for all campers and staff.

  • DTaP or Tdap (Tetanus, Diphtheria, and Pertussis)

  • MMR (Measles, Mumps, Rubella)

  • COVID (up to date with most recent CDC recommendation)

If you wish to request an exemption, please contact us to reach our staff nurse.

Health Policies at Camp

It’s not unusual to have the odd stomach ache, headache, skinned knee or bruise at camp. We’ve got you covered. If your child requires medical attention at camp, we will notify you if

  1. The injury or illness results in spending extended time in the infirmary, generally more than 30 minutes. (Excluding resting up due to regular monthly menstruation cycles.)

  2. The injury or illness is repeating – for instance, repeated bloody noses.

  3. The injury or illness requires more advanced care than can be delivered at camp, for instance, a trip to the local urgent care clinic.

Pre-Screening and Testing for COVID-19

If you have seen a medical professional recently, you will likely have had to fill out a pre-screener for COVID before being admitted to your appointment. We will be sending one out to be completed prior to arriving at camp. The exact wording is TBD based on CDC/CDPH guidelines but sample questions include “Do you have a fever or other COVID-like symptoms?” and “Have you been in contact with anyone who has recently tested positive for COVID-19?”

We advise that all staff and campers isolate with their household starting 7 days prior to coming to camp. Safe traveling guidelines should also be followed.

Currently, every staff member and camper will be required to show proof of a negative PCR test result from within the week prior to arriving at camp.

Failure to do all of these mitigations may result in staff or campers being turned away.
