COVID SAFETY AND PROTOCOL FOR SUMMER CAMPS

We know families need camp more than ever. At Emagination STEM Camps we are devoted to ensuring each of our programs offer a healthy and safe environment for our campers and staff.

​

Each of our Campus Locations has specific restrictions and requirements according to state and local guidelines. Because Covid provisions are subject to frequent changes, we will be in regular contact with registrants up until the first day of camp.

​

Thorough Communication

As we approach the summer season, our preparations continue to evolve in order to meet the latest regulations and guidelines. We are unable to anticipate the full local and nationwide requirements for the upcoming season. We ask that parents, campers and staff stay engaged and connected with Emagination via email where we will keep you abreast of any last-minute changes. We strive to deliver thoughtful, thorough communications, so our community stays informed and prepared.


Working with Experts
We continue to monitor camp-specific guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), along with state and local health departments, host campuses, and the American Camp Association (ACA). We will continue to stay current on safety guidelines, and will adjust as needed to best serve the health and safety of all campers and staff.

 
A Healthy Camp Begins At Home
Campers and staff will be required to complete a health history form and pre-camp health screening. Parents of Day or Overnight campers are required to take their child’s temperature at home and look for related flu symptoms before getting ready to leave for camp. This task must be carried out each morning for Day campers. Campers and staff who exhibit a fever or flu-like symptoms, or have been exposed to Covid-19 within 14 days prior to camp session start will not be allowed on campus.

 
Wellness Checks
Temperature and symptom checks of staff and overnight campers will be done at check-in and as required based on current guidelines. A staff member will perform daily temperature checks on each camper prior to attending

morning activities. Overnight campers who show signs of a fever and/or flu symptoms will be quarantined until a parent or guardian takes them home. Likewise, Day campers who show signs of a fever or related symptoms will be asked to provide proof of a negative Covid-19 test as recommended by the CDC prior to returning to camp sessions.
 

Prioritizing Sanitization & Hand Washing
Each camper is required to bring their own hand sanitizer to keep on their person.  Additional sanitizer will be provided by camp and/or the host campus.  Throughout the day, campers and staff will be required to frequently wash hands and use a hand sanitizer.  All equipment and frequently touched surfaces (e.g. desks, door handles, sick handles) will be sanitized after each course period and open lab session.  We will be working closely with our host campuses to ensure proper cleaning and sanitation procedures.


Face Coverings
Health and Safety polices will be in accordance with the current CDC guidelines on mask wearing. Parents must provide face coverings for their child if applicable.

​

Program Changes
We want this summer to be a safe, fun and rewarding experience for our campers. Some COVID protocols will develop as we move closer to summer, and will be communicated to registered camper families via the Parent Manuals and email.
