*UPDATED APRIL 5, 2022*
SUMMARY OF COVID-READINESS
On April 5, 2022, the New Hampshire Camp Directors’ Association met with Dr. Benjamin Chan, State Epidemiologist of the New Hampshire Department of Health and Human Services, and we are following his and the state’s advice and suggestions on most Covid-related matters. We will be implementing the following:
Every camper and staff member must have up-to-date Covid vaccinations. See below table for exactly what this means as of now. This is subject to change by camp time.
We’ll require a test (rapid/antigen or PCR are both acceptable) within 48 hours of coming to camp. We’ll ask campers to stay away from large indoor gatherings (theaters, concerts, etc.) within 7 days of coming to camp.
We will test everyone on a rapid 15-minute test upon arrival
Parents/guardians will be asked to stay in their cars for dropoff and pickup to reduce exposure
Anyone testing positive at any point during camp will be isolated and will need to be picked up within 48 hours (sooner is better)
In the case of exposure to a positive person during camp, quarantine will not be required for vaccinated campers & staff, but we will test close contacts (cabin mates or table mates)
We are still waiting to make exact decisions on day-to-day life at camp, and will give much more information by our May 15 orientation session. As Dr. Chan said, “The goal is to move back to more normal camp operations.”
