Camp COVID-19 Policies
For the safety of our campers, paid staff, volunteers and medical staff, we are requiring immunization again COVID-19. This has also been communicated to all of our camp families. At this time, any medical waivers will be reviewed by the Medical Advisory Committee. For the health and safety of our campers, families, staff, and volunteers, religious and philosophical waivers will not be accepted as exemption to the COVID-19 vaccination.
Camp Guidance for Covid-19
ADA Camp Team has convened a small Medical Advisory Committee to assist with updating our current medical manual, diabetes technology tip sheets as well as developing guidelines to assist camps with COVID-19 policies and plans. The goal of this committee is to support camps throughout the summer and give guidance in-regards to medical needs, support, medical emergencies at camp, etc.
