In the past, the traditional scout summer camp was defined by overnight tent camping, waterfront swimming, and unusual dining hall experiences. Now living in a post-pandemic time we need to think of summer camp differently. As we go phasing back into the world we must keep sanitation safety in mind.
If you're not feeling well you need to stay home.
Most camps have paperwork (supplemental risk information) that is required before attending that proves you're well.
Summer Camp requires A-B-C medical forms. (C is required for 72+ hours.)
If you're at camp and not feeling well, put a mask on and report to First Aid.
Wash Your Hands (WYH) as often as you can. (6 or more times in 24 hours.)
Try to maintain social distance in case someone coughs or sneezes.
Cough and sneeze into your elbow or disposable paper towel and immediately WYH & Face.
Avoid touching your face or anyone else.
WYH before washing your face.
Use hand sanitizer properly if you cant WYH. As soon as you can WYH.
Follow all safety instructions of the camp.
Use your common sense and don’t panic.There are virtual cames online if you're not feeling well or just not phased out into real camp yet.
