Safety

• Campers

  • Only registered participants are allowed to attend.
  • Masks are not required but encouraged if the camper is more comfortable wearing one.
  • Campers will participate in frequent hand washing. Hand sanitizer will also be available. 
  • Outdoor Play: Camps will be going outside as much as possible to limit the spread of germs.
• Facilities

  • Access to all Township of King facilities is limited to those who have pre-registered for a camp program.
  • Certain rooms have been assigned to designated camps.
  • Increased Disinfection: More frequent cleaning and disinfecting of program spaces, washrooms and high touch points.
• Health Screenings

  • Pre-Screening for COVID-19: All staff and participants must complete a passive screening daily. 
  • If anyone in the household has symptoms of COVID-19, has been notified as a close contact of someone with COVID-19 or been told to stay home and self-isolate, the camper must stay home.

   

  If you are sick, stay home to prevent transmission to others, except to seek testing or medical care if required.

  You should stay home until all of the following apply to you:

  • your symptoms have been improving for at least 24 hours (or 48 hours if you had nausea, vomiting and/or diarrhea)  
  • you do not have a fever
  • you do not develop any additional symptoms

   

  When your symptoms are improving and you are no longer isolating at home, doing the following can provide extra protection against the spread of COVID-19 and other respiratory viruses circulating in the community.

  For 10 days after your symptoms started:

  • wear a well-fitted mask in all public settings
  • avoid non-essential activities where you need to take off your mask (for example, dining out)
  • avoid non-essential visits to anyone who is immunocompromised or may be at higher risk of illness (for example, seniors)
  • avoid non-essential visits to highest risk settings in the community such as hospitals and long-term care homes
• Illness at Camp

  If you have the symptoms of COVID-19 listed below, assume that you may have the virus and may be contagious.

  • Any one or more of:
    • fever or chills
    • cough
    • shortness of breath
    • decreased or loss of taste or smell
  • Any two or more of:
    • runny nose or nasal congestion
    • headache
    • extreme fatigue
    • sore throat
    • muscle aches or joint pain
    • gastrointestinal symptoms (such as vomiting or diarrhea)

   

  • If a camper falls ill while at camp, they will be placed in a quiet room with a staff person and isolated from the rest of their camp group.
  • Parents/guardians will be contacted to pick up their camper immediately. If a negative result is confirmed the participant will be allowed to return to camp, once symptoms have resolved for 24 hours. 
  • If the ill camper has a sibling that is attending camp, they will also need to be picked up immediately by the parent/guardian.
