During‌ ‌Camp‌ ‌
Upon‌ ‌Arrival/Check-In‌

1. ‌We‌ ‌will‌ ‌check‌ ‌the‌ ‌temperatures‌ ‌of‌ ‌every‌ ‌staff,‌ ‌camper,‌ ‌and‌ ‌family‌ ‌member‌ ‌who‌ ‌enters‌ ‌camp‌.‌ ‌This‌ ‌will‌ ‌be‌ ‌done‌ ‌using‌ ‌a‌ ‌non-contact‌ ‌thermometer‌ ‌before‌ ‌leaving‌ ‌any‌ ‌vehicles.‌ ‌Campers‌ ‌will‌ ‌not‌ ‌be‌ ‌able‌ ‌to‌ ‌attend‌ ‌camp‌ ‌if‌ ‌they,‌ ‌or‌ ‌anyone‌ ‌within‌ ‌their‌ ‌vehicle,‌ ‌has‌ ‌a‌ ‌fever.‌ ‌

Health‌ ‌Lodge‌‌
 ‌While‌ ‌camp‌ ‌offers‌ ‌a‌ ‌well‌ ‌equipped‌ ‌and‌ ‌modern‌ ‌health‌ ‌lodge‌ ‌with‌ ‌multiple‌ ‌rooms‌ ‌for‌ ‌isolating‌ ‌sick‌ ‌
campers,‌ ‌camp‌ ‌is‌ ‌not‌ ‌prepared‌ ‌to‌ ‌house‌ ‌campers‌ ‌or‌ ‌staff‌ ‌who‌ ‌show‌ ‌symptoms‌ ‌of‌ ‌COVID-19.‌ ‌Therefore,‌ ‌
 ‌
