Summer Camp Safety & In-Home Testing

COVID-19 has engrained itself into our communities, homes, and workplaces. It makes us fear for our families, children, and loved ones. With the new Delta variant rearing its ugly face, it makes us especially concerned about what to expect for our summer camps this year.

Current Data

As recently as July, new outbreaks of the virus have spread in children’s summer camps. While each state has its own regulations, be sure to read what your children’s camp has established to protect your child from becoming exposed. Keep yourself educated on current COVID cases, especially about local summer camps.

Safety Precautions for your family

While children are encouraged to socialize and look forward to their summer camp experience, there are several precautions we can take to limit potential exposure. Many patients who are diagnosed with COVID do not show signs or symptoms, which furthermore stresses the importance of getting tested. Here are some steps to take for optimal safety:

1. 1. Test Beforehand

For the safety of your child and other attendees, get them tested before camp to make sure they will not spread the virus. This will also reassure you they will be well before going away from home.

1. 2. Contact The Camp

Ask what they are requiring of attendees, such as specific mask regulations or limits on groups. You may not be comfortable with the restrictions in place, so it is important to check before their stay.

1. 3. Educate

Since you may not be present at the camp, make sure your child knows to wash their hands often, maintain a safe social distance, and wear a mask. Try to make a fun game out of it which will increase the likelihood of them retaining information.

1. 4. Ask How They Are Feeling

Symptoms can come and go at any moment. Keep an open line of conversation with your child and the camp to stay ahead of the virus.

1. 5. Test After Camp

This is an excellent idea to confirm they did not receive the virus after attending camp, which is crucial since many carriers do not have symptoms.
