SAFETY

To help reduce the spread of COVID-19, King Summer Camp programs will follow day camp guidelines released by the Ontario Ministry of Health and York Region Public Health. The Township of King reserves the right to cancel and/or amend its summer camp programs at its sole discretion at any time.

Camper’s safety is the first priority. Please note that participants who are unable to follow by these new guidelines (such as physical distancing & mask wearing) may be removed from camp for the safety of themselves and other participants. Each camp group will stay together for the entire week, and not interact with campers in other camp groups.

- Camp capacities have been restricted so participants can maintain physical distance.
- Physical distancing will be enforced at all times.
- Every camp will be provided with their own activity equipment and materials. Where possible, individual supplies and equipment will be provided.
- After each program all equipment, tables and activity stations will be cleaned/disinfected before next use.
- Only registered participants are allowed to attend.
- Must bring their own mask and encouraged to bring at least 2 extra masks stored in their backpacks in a separate brown paper bag, ziploc bag, etc.
- Must wear a mask/face covering indoors and outdoors. Participants can remove their masks outdoors only when they can, at all times, maintain a:
  Two-metre distance from others during quiet games and activities
  Three-metre distance from others during physical activity and active games
  If these distances cannot be maintained at all times, a mask is required.
- Will practice physical distancing and will participate in frequent hand washing. Hand sanitizer will also be available.
- Outdoor Play: Camps will be going outside as much as possible to limit the spread of germs.
- Access to all Township of King facilities is limited to those who have pre-registered for a summer camp program.
- Certain rooms have been assigned to designated camps and reorganized to maintain physical distancing.
- Increased Disinfection: More frequent cleaning and disinfecting of program spaces, washrooms and high touch points.
- Camps will stay with their designated camp, there will be no mixing campers between camps.
- King Camps has an outdoor camp drop-off routine, weather permitting. Sign In/Out Locations can be found here.
- Pre-Screening for COVID-19: All staff and participants must complete the Township of King COVID Screening Tool daily.
  Proof of green check mark will need to be shown to staff prior to sign in
- Failure to pass screening or campers that have symptoms of COVID-19, their siblings and household family members will not be admitted to camp
- If anyone in the household has symptoms of COVID-19, has been notified as a close contact of someone with COVID-19 or been told to stay home and self-isolate, the camper must stay home.
- If a camper falls ill while at camp, they will be placed in a quiet room with a staff person and isolated from the rest of their camp group.
- Parents/guardians will be contacted to pick up their camper immediately. The parent/guardian will be asked to take the child to a COVID-19 assessment centre to be tested. If a negative result is confirmed the participant will be allowed to return to camp, once symptoms have resolved for 24 hours. If a negative test is not provided the camper will not be allowed to return to camp for 10 days.
- If the ill camper has a sibling that is attending camp, they will also need to be picked up immediately by the parent/guardian. The parent/guardian will be asked to take the child to a COVID-19 assessment centre to be tested. If a negative result is confirmed the sibling will be allowed to return to camp. If a negative test is not provided the sibling will not be allowed to return to camp for 24 days.
