• Each participant will receive a t-shirt on the first day of camp. Please try to wear it every day.

• If your participant will take medication during camp, please make sure it has been handed over to camp organizers and provide any written information or instructions if needed.

Safety Guidelines:

• Each individual will be expected to behave appropriately and respect fellow camp participants and counselors.

• Each individual will be expected to maintain proper hygiene etiquette, respect the personal space of other participants, and heed any other safety protocols to the best of their ability when asked.

• If the participant has a medical or behavioral disability that requires specific training and/or constant supervision, we require a designated family member or caregiver who will attend camp with the individual for the duration of each day.

• No individual should attend SPIRIT Day Camp if they are experiencing ANY symptoms of ANY contagious illnesses (cold, flu, COVID-19 etc.) or have been in close contact with someone who has a contagious illness. Sick participants will be sent home and not allowed to attend camp while still contagious.

• Protective masks will be provided, and participants may be asked to wear one while indoors, riding the bus, or in large crowds. Body temperatures may be screened based on local and state COVID-19 conditions.

These measures are to protect not just oneself but also our fellow participants and friends. Thank You.
