My child has a chronic condition with symptoms similar to Covid-19, can they come to camp?
Most often the chronic condition is allergies, with symptoms like a runny nose, cough and headache.
Unfortunately, Covid-19 symptoms are typically mild in children and can mimic a chronic condition, like allergies. Prior to camp, if your child has these symptoms, we require a doctor’s note of verification that confirms your camper's chronic condition. If your child develops these symptoms during camp, we require either a doctor’s note OR a negative COVID-19 test.
