Children in Residential Camps who sleep together in a cabin, bunkhouse, or other quarters may be defined as a “household cohort” and do not need to wear masks when they are together, whether indoors or outdoors, provided no non-household cohort members are nearby. As infection rates decline, and vaccine eligibility expands, a decision regarding when to lift remaining mask requirements will be made in conjunction with the Office of the Governor and Department of Public Health.” Due the above statement from the Office of Early Childhood (OEC)- The Summer Fun Days Camp when operating outdoors and the children/staff do not have to wear masks unless they are going indoors for any reason, such as to use the bathroom or for our inclement weather days at Fawn Hallow Elementary School. Drop off and pick up will be curbside.

Campers will be in groups of no more than 20 with two staff assigned to them.

Staff, vaccinated or unvaccinated, are no longer required to wear masks outdoors. The requirement for staff, vaccinated or unvaccinated, to wear masks indoors in child care and youth camps will continue in accordance with OEC memos. Children 3 years of age and older in child care and youth camps must continue to wear masks indoors, with exceptions provided for children including those with documented medical conditions, disability or special education needs; who are eating, sleeping or resting; are newly enrolled and working toward mask wearing; and those who have just turned 3 years old and provided up to 2 months to acclimate to mask wearing. Children in Residential Camps who sleep together in a cabin, bunkhouse, or other quarters may be defined as a “household cohort” and do not need to wear masks when they are together, whether indoors or outdoors, provided no non-household cohort members are nearby. As infection rates decline, and vaccine eligibility expands, a decision regarding when to lift remaining mask requirements will be made in conjunction with the Office of the Governor and Department of Public Health.” Due the above statement from the Office of Early Childhood (OEC)- The Summer Fun Days Camp when operating outdoors and the children/staff do not have to wear masks unless they are going indoors for any reason, such as to use the bathroom or for our inclement weather days at Fawn Hallow Elementary School. Drop off and pick up will be curbside.

Children in Residential Camps who sleep together in a cabin, bunkhouse, or other quarters may be defined as a “household cohort” and do not need to wear masks when they are together, whether indoors or outdoors, provided no non-household cohort members are nearby. As infection rates decline, and vaccine eligibility expands, a decision regarding when to lift remaining mask requirements will be made in conjunction with the Office of the Governor and Department of Public Health.” Due the above statement from the Office of Early Childhood (OEC)- The Summer Fun Days Camp when operating outdoors and the children/staff do not have to wear masks unless they are going indoors for any reason, such as to use the bathroom or for our inclement weather days at Fawn Hallow Elementary School. Drop off and pick up will be curbside.
