Summer Camp Wellness Update

As CDC guidelines and best practices for educational facilities have evolved, so have our wellness-related policies and procedures. All are subject to change based on updates to federal, state, or local guidelines.

Camps are running at a reduced capacity to allow for three foot social distancing guidelines currently recommended by the CDC.
Daily cleaning protocols have been enhanced.
Rigorous hand washing and sanitation routines for campers and staff are in place.
Time spent outdoors has been increased substantially from years past (as weather allows).
Edison Ford staff will wear masks at all times.
No snacks will be available for sale.
Students who are able to do so will wear masks while in the classroom.
Outdoor breaks will occur frequently, as well as water, snack, lunch and additional breaks as needed.
Masks will not be required outdoors.
Each camper will receive a brief symptom and temperature check at check-in.
No campers experiencing symptoms of COVID-19 will be allowed to enter camp.
If a student develops symptoms of COVID-19 during camp, they will be quarantined until they can be picked up.
Unfortunately, early drop off and late pick up are not available.
Camp sign-in and sign-out times will be staggered to allow for a faster, more efficient process, and to comply with wellness best practices. Please arrive as close to the times shown as possible:
- 1-3 grades: Drop off at 8:30am Pick up at 3:45pm
- 4-6 grades: Drop off at 8:45am Pick up at 4:00pm
