Adult Campers are required to either be fully vaccinated or provide proof of a negative COVID test to attend any CLN-sponsored programs including: Family Camp, All Friends Reunion, and Women’s Weekend. See “COVID Testing Policy for Adult Participants” for more information.

Children Campers are not required to be vaccinated to attend camp this summer. Children are required to provide proof of a negative COVID test before attending summer camp or other CLN-sponsored programs, such as Family Camp and All Friends Reunion Weekend. See “Summer Camp COVID Testing Policy for Campers & Staff” for more information.

Camp Staff, Volunteers and Board Members working with campers directly are required to be fully vaccinated and up-to-date with any recommended boosters to work at camp this summer.

Proof of vaccination is not required for open camping.

Testing is required for Summer Camp.

All campers are required to conduct a rapid test at home** the morning of arrival to camp (Sunday morning before check-in). Upon arriving to camp, a time-stamped photo must be shown to camp staff - the photo of the negative test should clearly show date and time that the photo was taken, dated for earlier that same day.

In the week leading up to camp, we ask that you please practice as much caution as possible and try to limit attending large gatherings as much as possible. This will help us ensure that no one has to leave camp unexpectedly!

During camp, anyone who shows signs or symptoms of COVID-19 will be tested and isolated until a result is received.

Additionally, all staff will be tested once a week.

**If your financial situation prohibits access to a rapid test, please reach out to us at camp as soon as possible and we can make arrangements to provide one for you.

Any camper who exhibits symptoms that could be related to COVID-19 will be isolated and tested immediately upon identification of the symptoms. Symptoms include fever or chills, cough, shortness of breath, fatigue, body aches, headache, loss of taste or smell, sore throat, congestion, runny nose, nausea, vomiting or diarrhea.

While these symptoms could be caused by a variety of illnesses or simply just from being active at camp, our commitment to health and safety will dictate that any time there is a potential case of COVID-19 a test will be performed. Any campers who test positive for COVID-19 cannot stay at camp and must be picked up immediately (same day as positive test).

Depending on the severity of the identified symptoms, we may request a camper be picked up even if their test is negative.

If a child has to go home due to testing positive for COVID-19 or having other contagious symptoms, and would like to come back to camp to complete their experience (at no additional cost), there are a few options to allow this:

-For COVID-19: If they remain symptom-free and have completed their full 10-day quarantine period as prescribed by the CDC, they may return to camp.

-For other illnesses: We ask you keep us updated of your child’s condition and when they are symptom-free, let us know and we will fit them into another session of camp later on.

If a positive case of COVID-19 is found at camp, per current CDC guidelines, anyone identified as a "close contact" (within 6 feet of the COVID-positive person for 15 minutes or more within a 24-hour period) will have to be picked from camp to quarantine for 10 days. (Note: the one exception would be if a camper has had COVID-19 in the past 90 days, then they do not need to quarantine).

If a child would like to come back to camp to complete their experience (at no additional cost) after their quarantine period, there are a few options to allow this:

-If they remain symptom-free and have completed their full 10-day quarantine period as prescribed by the CDC, they may return to camp.

-Alternatively, a camper could participate in serial testing to return to camp earlier. This would involve getting a negative PCR test upon being picked up from camp, and then a second negative PCR test 5 days later. If both tests are negative and the camper remains symptom free, they could return to camp sooner than the 10-day quarantine period.

-Counselors are trained to monitor campers for signs of COVID-19 such as flushed cheeks, rapid breathing, difficulty breathing (without recent physical activity), fatigue, sniffles, etc.

-Windows, doors, and tent flaps are opened to create air circulation whenever possible, and fans are used in the dining hall to further this.

-Equipment and surfaces are sanitized after each use.

-Non-essential visitors are not allowed in camp during sessions.

Testing is required for unvaccinated adults before Family Camp, All Friends Reunion Weekend, and Women’s Weekend.

All unvaccinated adults are required to conduct a rapid test at home** the morning of arrival to camp. Upon arriving to camp, a time-stamped photo must be shown to camp staff - the photo of the negative test should clearly show date and time that the photo was taken, dated for earlier that same day.

In the week leading up to coming to camp, we ask that you please practice as much caution as possible and try to limit attending large gatherings as much as possible. This will help us ensure that no one has to leave camp unexpectedly!
