Health and Wellness Policies for Attending Camp
The state of Illinois is currently in Phase 4 of the Restore Illinois Plan.
The following guidelines will be in place all camp in order to ensure the health and safety of our families.
Everyone that enters the building must wear a mask and sanitize their hands, including staff, teachers, students and parents. Everyone must bring their own masks.
Our waiting areas will be unavailable for use. We ask that parents drop off and pick up their child at the front entrance. Young children may be accompanied into the building.
Some counselors may choose to meet their students at the entrance to take their temperatures. Campers with visible cold symptoms (cough, runny nose, upset stomach) will be sent home.
Counselor/staff temperatures will be taken upon arrival and they will be sent home if not within a healthy range.
If the camper or family member is sick, experiencing COVID-19 symptoms, has been exposed to someone with COVID-19, or is immunocompromised, please stay home.
Campers will keep six (6) feet of distance from teachers, staff and other campers as much as possible. Counselors will adhere to this in small groups as well.
We have purchased specialized sanitizing products and will continue to clean during in addition to our weekly professional cleaning service.
If a student is experiencing COVID-19 symptoms, or has been exposed to someone with COVID-19, we ask that they inform our office immediately and stay home. For anyone interested in COVID-19 testing, this website is updated regularly:

Protocol in the case that a counselor, staff member or camper is diagnosed with COVID-19 and has symptoms:
Summer City Adventures will close down camp until we are able to conduct professional deep clean and sanitization (minimum of 2 days). Summer City Adventures will initiate contact tracing with involved parties, to the best of our ability. The infected person may return to Summer City Adventures once they have tested negative for COVID-19. All other people who were in contact with the infected person must quarantine from Summer City Adventures for 10 days before returning to camp.
