Suspected Case of COVID-19

Participants who develop symptoms while in camp will be separated from others and moved to an isolated area until they are picked up. 

Environmental sanitization of the space and items used by the participant will be conducted once the participant has been picked up.

Symptomatic camp participants and staff will be referred for testing.

The Municipality will consider a single, symptomatic, laboratory confirmed case of COVID-19 as a confirmed COVID-19 outbreak in consultation with the Huron Perth Health Unit.   

Camp participants and staff who have been exposed to a confirmed case of COVID-19 will be excluded from the program setting for 14 days.

Face Coverings

Students in Kindergarten will be encouraged but not required to wear a face covering in indoor spaces if they are tolerated and able to wear them properly.

Students in Grades 1 and up are required to wear a face mask indoors. 

Personal Hygiene

Camp staff will encourage frequent, proper hand hygiene, including incorporating additional hand hygiene opportunities into the daily schedule. 

Physical Distancing Guidelines

Program participants will be divided into cohorts of no more than 15 individuals who will remain together for the duration of the program.  Camp staff will be assigned to the same cohort each day.   

Equipment and Materials

All toys and equipment used during camp will be made of materials that can be cleaned and sanitized. Whenever possible, equipment will not be shared between cohorts. 

Any shared equipment will be sanitized between uses. 

Single-use materials will be allocated on an individual basis and disposed of at the end of each day. 

Frequently touched surfaces will be cleaning and sanitized at least twice a day.
