Each morning, our designated Camp Medic will check in at the Dining Hall Porch as campers arrive for breakfast. This isn’t a medical exam—just a quick check-in to help identify early signs of illness and prevent the spread of common bugs at camp.

What it looks like:

MEDIC: Good morning! How are you feeling today?
CAMPER: A little tired, but okay.
MEDIC: Thanks for letting me know. Come by later if anything feels worse.
CAMPER: Will do. Thanks!

If you’re feeling unwell (headache, sore throat, fever, cough, etc.), you may be referred to the Medic for follow-up. Masks are available and may be recommended in some cases.

We keep it simple and effective:

Wash hands before meals, after bathroom visits, and after messy activities.

Remind children to keep hands out of shared food bins, and noses out of each other’s business.

Face masks are not required.

If you feel sick or have symptoms, the Medic may encourage you to wear one, but we respect each person’s personal choice.

Bring a few masks just in case, if you wish

If a camper begins showing symptoms:

The Camp Medic will assess and may administer a rapid test (optional).

If symptoms suggest contagious illness, the camper and one family member will isolate in their cabin or the designated “quarantine cabin.”

Meals and supplies will be delivered. A designated bathroom will be assigned.

If a COVID-19 test is positive, campers will either isolate on site in the quarantine cabin or may choose to leave early if they are well enough to travel. The Camp Director will support families in making that decision with safety and community care in mind.

Daily chores help keep our shared spaces tidy and safe:

Dining Hall: Tables wiped after each meal; floors mopped daily.

Bathrooms: Cleaned and restocked each morning with fresh supplies, trash removal, and disinfecting of toilets, sinks, and showers.

Rec Hall & Craft Spaces: Wiped down regularly, including shared supplies and surfaces.

Campers of all ages help with chores appropriate to their abilities. Many hands make light work!

Kitchen staff follow standard food safety protocols.

Disposable gloves are available for cleaning tasks. Please wear them when disinfecting shared spaces.

We emphasize clean, well-ventilated spaces:

Windows and fans will be used in indoor areas (Dining Hall, Kitchen, Rec Hall).

Outdoor eating is encouraged (but don’t forget to clean up—hello, skunks!).

High-touch outdoor surfaces like metal railings will be cleaned regularly.

Wooden outdoor surfaces don’t need disinfecting—just standard upkeep.

Our cabins are rustic—part of their charm! That means they’re simple structures without insulation or plumbing, and yes, you may share your space with the occasional mouse or curious spider.

Bathrooms are in separate buildings, and some cabins are closer than others. We prioritize mobility and accessibility when assigning cabins, especially for families with small children, elders, or anyone with limited mobility. While we can’t accommodate every preference, we do our best to place campers based on need and proximity to key areas.

There are paved walking paths connecting most major areas of camp, though terrain may still be uneven in places. Please let us know in advance if someone in your group needs extra consideration—we’re happy to help make your stay more comfortable.

Living in close community is part of the camp experience—and so is showing care for each other’s space.

Ask before entering someone else’s cabin, even if the door is open.

Be mindful not to touch or borrow others’ personal items without permission.

Please don’t store food in your cabin—even sealed snacks can attract curious critters like raccoons and skunks!

Help younger campers learn these respectful habits too—it makes for a happier camp for everyone.

These policies aren’t just about germs—they’re about loving your neighbor. Whether you're washing your hands, checking in at breakfast, or helping a sick camper feel cared for, you're helping create a community built on kindness, respect, and compassion.

Wellness isn’t just physical. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, homesick, or in need of prayer or a chat, please reach out to a trusted adult, MomDir, PopDir, or one of our Pastoral staff.

Let’s serve one another with joy!
