COVID-19 Summer Camp Protocols Health & Safety

The health and safety of the wider Catlin Gabel community, including camp staff, students, and parents is of paramount importance to us. It will take all of us—staff, parents, and students to participate and follow our safety measures to mitigate the potential spread of COVID-19 or other viruses.

We have developed stringent practices and protocols in accordance with the guidelines established by the Oregon Health Authority (OHA), Oregon Department of Education (ODE), and the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) guidelines, and we will continue to adjust these protocols as necessary.

All Catlin Gabel camp staff will be trained to implement our safety practices.

Before Campers Arrive on Campus

SunScreen

Please apply sunscreen every morning at home and pack some extra (labeled with your camper’s name) so your camper can apply more later in the day.

Backpack with Lunch and Water

Please pack lunch (in containers that your child can easily open), snacks, and a filled reusable water container. Water fountains are switched off; contactless water stations will be available.

Mask

Campers should bring a minimum of two masks each day. Camp staff will have replacement masks on hand as needed.

On Campus Protocols

Drop Off & Pick Up

Designated locations will be assigned for drop off and pick up.
Parents/guardians will need to stay in their cars unless otherwise specified. Camp staff will escort campers from the parking lot in the morning and back to the lot at the end of each day.
Parents/guardians of Summer Beehive, Honey Hollow Adventure, and Explorers campers will park and walk their camper to and from designated drop-off/pick-up locations.
Please arrive no more than 15 minutes before your drop-off or pick-up time.

Masks

All campers and staff must wear a mask on campus at all times. Masks need to have two layers of fabric, should fit well, and fully cover the nose and mouth.
Masks with valves, gaiters, or bandannas cannot be used.
Face shields can be used as an optional added layer of protection, but not alone. The CDC has developed mask guidelines, including material and acceptable types.

Handwashing

Campers and staff will follow a regular schedule of hand washing, including before and after lunch.
Hand washing stations and sanitizer will be available throughout campus to ensure easy access.

Physical Distancing

Campers are expected to maintain at least 3 feet distance from one another as much as possible throughout the day.
Staff are expected to maintain at least 6 feet distance from campers and one another as much as possible throughout the day.
Campers are expected to remain in their designated areas to reduce mixing of groups.
Classroom and congregant settings are configured to ensure 6 feet distance between all individuals. Signage and floor markings indicate 6 feet distance in key areas on campus.
Regular reminders and signage about appropriate distance.

Eating and Drinking

Lunchtime will be held outside in different locations with physical distancing between each campers. Face masks must be worn until campers are ready to begin eating.
Campers should bring filled water bottles to school each day.
No camp provided food or snacks will be available.

Illness

Campers and staff are expected to stay home when ill.
Anyone with a fever of 100.4F or higher must stay home for at least 24 hours after the fever has broken AND after a COVID-19 test is negative.
Campers who become ill on-campus will be escorted to the “isolation room,” which is on the ground floor of The Barn. Parents / guardians will be contacted to arrange a pick-up within the hour.
The Health Coordinator, contracted through Joffee Emergency Services, will contact families and coordinate pick up.
More information can be found in Catlin Gabel's Communicable Disease Manual.

Potential Exposure to COVID-19

If a community member (employee, camper, parent/guardian) or one of their household members is awaiting COVID-19 test results due to illness or exposure, no one in that household should come to campus.
If a camper or parent/guardian or a member of their household tests positive for COVID-19, please contact Catlin Gabel Health Coordinator, Casey Reynolds (reynoldsc@catlin.edu). No one from the household should come to campus.

Additional Safety Measures

Daily Logs

Daily logs will be kept in case contract tracing is necessary. Catlin Gabel staff will log their entry and exit of campus buildings using an app.

Enhanced Cleaning

Daily cleaning practices are designed to comply with ODE requirements and CDC recommendations, including the types of cleaning products used and the frequency of cleaning (see Cleaning Protocols section).

Equipment

Shared equipment will be limited with disinfectant supplies provided for intermittent cleaning.
Campers will not share standard supplies.

Campus visitors

At this time, only essential guests whose engagement is mission-critical are invited to campus.

Online Camps

Because our instructors are online and campers are at home, different classes require different levels of supervision or assistance. Please read age requirements and instructor requests carefully. In general and depending on age, a parent /guardian may need to be close enough to observe and be ready to help.

Classes are 90-minutes long and limited in size to ensure personal interaction and camper engagement. Classes are open to campers in any city, state, or country. All programs are Pacific Standard Time (PST). They require reliable internet access and personal devices as courses will use ZOOM as the learning platform. We look forward to seeing you soon!

Materials & Supplies

Many online camps have no material needs, others have some. Please review each camp description carefully noting that we have tried to keep it simple.
