COVID REsponse
What we are doing to make camp safe
Last Updated: March 30, 2021
4-H Adventure Camp is excited to serve youth following the coronavirus pandemic. Our camp will be a much-needed respite for youth during the past stressful year. We believe that safety is the number one priority for all our campers, guests, counselors, and staff, and we are following University of Idaho COVID protocols and instituted best practices from the American Camp Association:
- For those who are able to do so, it is highly encouraged to receive the COVID-19 vaccination before attending 4-H Adventure Camp.
- If any camper or counselor has had a temperature over 100.3 degrees Fahrenheit been sick over the past 24 hours, they will not be allowed to attend 4-H Adventure Camp until they have been fever-free for 24 hours. Counselors will ask campers who are not feeling well to stay home.
- Campers, counselors, chaperones, staff or guests must wear masks when indoors (inside a building, bus, etc.), and outdoors when physical distancing of 6 feet cannot be maintained.
- All cabins will be limited to a total of 10 individuals (typically 8 youth and 2 counselors), physical distancing in cabins will be addressed by not filling them to capacity. Everyone is instructed to sleep head to toe in separate bunk beds.
- Cabin groups will rotate between camp activities as a group. Campers and staff will be asked to wash or sanitize hands before and after each activity. Shared equipment (such as archery bows, craft supplies, etc.) will be sanitized after each use.
A more complete plan is in the works, to make sure that we are ready for whatever might come this Summer.
