Pre-Camp Impacts of COVID-19 Summer Camp 2021 Safety Mitigations
To minimize exposure to COVID-19, and to maximize safety, Reynoldswood and Wesley Woods will always comply with the latest IDPH guidance. Please double-check this page the Saturday before your check-in for the most current status.
 
NIC Summer Camps are implementing the following process changes that will impact you directly and before camp:
 
Registration
To maximize social distancing and to minimize interaction at check-in:

ALL REGISTRATIONS and PAYMENT IN FULL MUST be completed 7 days prior to check-in, preferably online,

we will not accept payment at check-in

ALL HEALTH FORMS must be submitted at least ONE week BEFORE check-in date.

Camp Fee & Camp Store
Camp fee's have increase to now include:

$3/camper/night to cover estimated COVID mitigations, such as sneeze guards and new sanitization protocols,

$1/camper/meal to cover increased food costs

$10 to be applied to the camp store so that all campers are able to shop.
    (If you want to provide more than $10 for your child(ren) to spend at the camp store, please add it to their online registration.)

Drop-Off / Check-In

We will assign and enforce check-in times in 15 minute increments.

Weather permitting, we will check-in at a table OUTSIDE the Dining Hall.

We ask that only one parent accompany each family's child(ren) to check-in.

EACH camper will carry their own bag(s) to their assigned cabins–pack accordingly.

Parents will not be allowed to accompany children to their sleeping quarters this year.

At this time, we are still developing the Medication Drop-Off/Check-In Procedures.

We will conduct COVID-19 Symptom Screening in the parking lot before moving to the check-in area.
    Do NOT drop-off your camper if they exhibit any of the following symptoms:

Body aches Chills Cough Congestion Diarrhea Difficulty Breathing

Eye redness Fatigue Fever Headache Muscle aches Nose, runny

Nausea / Vomiting Shaking, from chills (repeatedly) Shortness of Breath Smell, Loss thereof (IF New) Sore throat Taste, Loss thereof (IF New)

Talent Show
The CDC/IDPH have asked us to not allow non-essential personnel on-site while campers are present; therefore, parents will NOT be invited to watch Talent Shows in-person, on-site this year. We are developing a video substitute, but do not yet know if it will be live streaming, or uploaded after-the-fact.
 
Pick-Up
We are still working on the end-of-camp pick-up process, and will let you know as soon as it is established. If you have any suggestions, please e-mail them directly to me.
 
Thank you Parents for helping us to make this a SAFE & AWESOME return to in-person Camping!
