Part C: Covid-19 Policy, Cancellation/Refund Policy, Photo Release & Newsletter Information & Agreements
COVID SAFETY PARENTAL AGREEMENT
Our camp is almost entirely outdoors, and we are philosophically committed to allowing children to have as natural and traditional an experience with farm, nature, staff, and peers as permitted by county guidelines.
Our camp by law follows Ulster County Department of Health guidelines for Covid-19 safety. Ulster County COVID-19 Hotline: 845-443-8888
To ensure that every child has a safe, fun, and meaningful experience at Seed Song Center's Farm Camp, we require every parent to read and sign off below as part of registration regarding the following COVID Agreement Form:
By sending your child to camp, each day you are affirming that the child has not exhibited any of these Signs and symptoms of COVID-19 (compiled from WHO checklist):
~Temp over 100.0 degrees F ~Loss of taste or smell ~Chest tightness
~Dry cough ~Shortness of breath ~Aches and pains
Any child with a temperature above 100. 0 degrees F, or any of the above symptoms, will be sent home for the day and remain home until none of the symptoms are exhibited.
Collective Agreement with Seed Song Center camp staff and families: "By sending my child to Seed Song Center's camp, I pledge that my family's habits outside of camp will be transparent and safe on behalf of all camp families and staff. While my child attends camp and for one week prior, my family and/or housemates will keep as safe a distance as practicable from any source of potential contagion. If anyone in my home or my child's home experiences an above-listed symptom of COVID-19 or has had contact with a known positive case in the last 14 days, we will not send our child to camp until we have gotten a negative test and the child is asymptomatic. I am aware that my actions at home could seriously impact essential workers and other camper families.
I understand that in order to serve families, Seed Song Center has committed resources to the camp program and staff even knowing the small risks that camps may be shut down by New York State due to any community health outbreak, or that one camp group may become infected and need to stay at home (Neither of these has ever happened at our camp in the past). I will share in this risk and am aware that camp fees can not be refunded in the case of a shut-down, as well as in the case of any child illness.
