To manage the risk of spread illness within the day camp setting at the Guelph Y has developed a comprehensive cleaning and sanitation routine and personal health care practices including frequent handwashing. Guelph Y Day Camps also requires a daily screening of all individuals entering the camp setting to ensure the safety of the program.
ALL CAMPERS must be screened daily prior to entering the camp location. In addition to daily screening, all children will be monitored throughout the day for emerging signs and symptoms of illness.
As a parent/guardian, you can prevent the spread of illness by keeping your child(ren) from the program if you observe ANY of the signs/symptoms outlined on our screening form. If your child begins to display an signs/symptoms during the program, you will be contacted to pick up your child IMMEDIATELY. While your child waits to be picked up, they will be separated from other campers and staff. Your child will not be able to return to the program until the local health unit has determined they may do so.
Additionally, to protect the health of all the campers and staff on site and promote physical distancing, parents will not be allowed to visit the premises. After your child has been screened, a designated staff member will greet them and walk them to their camper group. At the end of the day, a staff member will retrieve your child and bring them to meet you at a designated location.
While we are taking all of the precautions recommended to us by Public Health and our Provincial Government, please know that, despite our best efforts, there is still a risk that your child may be exposed to, or even contract, COVID 19 while on the premises. By signing this form, you are acknowledging that you have been made aware of, and accepted that risk.
