Vermont Voltage Overnight/Residential Camp Covid 2022 Protocols
With vaccines and “over the counter COVID tests” and immediate results available, many of these protocols will change prior to the beginning of Camp. This plan will continue to be reviewed and updated as new information from the VT Dept of Health, VT Agency of Commerce and Community, ACA, VT Governor, CDC is received.
Our top priority is keeping our camp community healthy and safe this summer while offering a meaningful camp experience to our campers!
We are following target occupancy, specific to our setting and population, so as to maximize the opportunity for social distancing.
It is crucial to minimize the risks of spreading COVID 19. The following are designed to maintain health and safety while running during the summer of 2022:
1. Any camper/staff member who is showing symptoms of COVID (has a cough, fever higher than 100.4, shortness of breath, difficulty breathing, chills, muscle pain, headache, sore throat, the new loss of smell or taste, significant rash, discolored nasal discharge, severe ear pain, uncontrolled cough, diarrhea) or who has been in contact with someone with COVID within the last 14 days, is currently sick, has been tested and is awaiting results or is at high risk due to underlying health conditions (heart disease, lung disease, underlying immune disorders, people with HIV) will not be permitted at camp. High-risk campers/staff will be able to attend if they have been vaccinated.
2. Staff/campers will wear masks, except: when in the water (swimming), eating, working out on an event, or sleeping.
3. Families doing drop off and pick up are required to wear masks. Drop off and pick up times will be staggered with no direct camp contact with the family member dropping off. Adults will remain in the car until the prescreening of the camper. All paperwork will be handled ahead of drop off. Counselors will bring the camper into camp. (To ensure the safety of our communities, out of state families must exercise extreme caution when traveling to VT)
4. The prescreening upon arrival at Vermont Voltage 2022 will include: well child check, symptom check, and temperature check.
5. Once campers/staff come into camp they will not leave the premises until pick up.
6. Out of state campers will have three options prior to attending camp:
• Campers self-quarantine at home for 14 days before traveling directly to camp. Family members agree to drop off and return directly to their state.
• 7 days of quarantine at home, prior to departing for camp take a COVID test and depart for camp within 24 hours of receiving a negative test result (email copy of results to camp). Travel directly to camp and family members return directly to their state.
• receive the COVID vaccine.
8. If a camper experiences symptoms, that camper would be isolated in a separate area, and sent home as soon as possible.
9. Hand hygiene stations will be set up at the entrance to the pre-screening area and all entrances to the dining room, work out areas and the kitchen.
10. Daily temperature/health checks for staff/campers will be done each AM.
11. Work outs and activities will be outside, whenever possible. Windows and doors will be open in the gyms, dining room and dorms, weather permitting. All areas will be cleaned and sanitized after use.
12. Non pharmaceutical interventions that will be followed: (1)masks (2)outside activities unless inclement weather (3)social distancing (4)good ventilation for indoor spaces (5)handwashing (6)limiting inside exposure.
