COVID-19 & WINTER CAMP 2022
A HEALTHY CAMP STARTS WITH A HEALTHY HOME
Before bringing your child to camp, consider the health and safety of everyone involved and make safe choices! Limit travel, exposure to others, and indoor activities as much as possible. For more information on COVID-19 precautions, visit: https://www.vdh.virginia.gov/coronavirus/schools-workplaces-community-locations/
PRE-ARRIVAL COVID TEST OR 7 DAY SYMPTOM LOG OF ALL HOUSEHOLD MEMBERS
To help prevent the spread of COVID-19 within the camp community we are requiring ONE of these for all Winter Campers: a copy of your camper's vaccination card, a negative molecular test within 7 days of camper arrival OR a 7-day symptom screening of ALL household members. It is our strong preference that campers arrive at camp fully vaccinated (if possible) or with a negative molecular test. However, we realize this may not be possible for all campers, so we are also accepting a 7-day symptom screening of all household members. It is recommended by the CDC that if a camper has tested positive for COVID-19 in the 3 months before the first day of camp that they do NOT take a molecular test as there is a chance they could still test positive. We suggest the 7-day symptom screening for campers in this situation.

FACE MASKS
As part of their packing list, campers are asked to bring face masks to camp. While Montgomery County is considered a green zone of COVID transmission (as defined by the CDC), campers and staff will not be required to wear masks while indoors. If Montgomery County enters a yellow or red level of COVID transmission, all Alta Mons staff and campers will wear masks anytime they are in a shared indoor space (Dining Hall, Nurse’s Station, etc.). Any staff or campers at Alta Mons are welcome to wear a face mask at any time for any reason. Any campers who are symptomatic during camp will be asked to wear a face mask while on-site at camp waiting to return home. Masks should be well-fitted, comfortable, and worn over the nose and under the chin. We do not plan to wear masks while outdoors this summer.
DAILY HEALTH CHECKS
Campers and Staff will be screened daily for symptoms, temperature, and any other health concerns. Symptoms include: fever (checking for temperature 100.4 °F or higher), sore throat, new cough, diarrhea, vomiting, or stomachache, new onset of severe headache, especially with a fever.
REVISED REFUND POLICY
Pre-arrival cancellations for any reason will be fully refunded. Please contact us as soon as possible at 540-268-2409 or office@altamons.org to cancel your child's winter camp registration and allow someone else to fill the spot. For Winter Camp, no refunds will be issued once the session begins.
