- Only five (5) campers per cabin.
- Counseling Staff comes to camp and stays for entire summer filling all positions creating a safety bubble minimizing the number of people in and out of the premises.
- Staff will quarantine prior to coming and must complete a negative PCR COVID test within 72 hours of arrival.
- Each camper must provide a negative COVID test result taken 72 hours before check-in (PCR or onsite Rapid test at camper's expense).
- Camper screenings before check-in while in car.
- Contactless check-in process; parents stay in car entire time.
- Required to bring masks: wear in dining hall and any close-quarter games.
- Social distancing indoors.
- Daily rigorous contact surface cleaning.
- Daily temperature checks.
- No one, except approved deliveries, i.e. food and mail, permitted to enter premises once camp starts.
- Anyone exhibiting any known common sign of COVID while at camp will immediately be quarantined to the Medical Cabin and sent home; their cabin-mates will be monitored and given an onsite Rapid Test if decided by the medical team.
Our goal is to provide the safest possible environment without diminishing the quality of the Swamp camp experience. We are adhering to requirements as established by state of Georgia and following appropriate and relative guidelines as established by the American Camping Association Pandemic Field Guide for Camps. The dining hall will adhere to appropriate regulations as stipulated in the Georgia Executive Order for restaurants.
We request that all campers and counselors quarantine themselves for a suggested period of 3-10 days prior to arriving at camp to better ensure the safety of everyone attending camp and for another 3-10 days upon returning home for the safety of their friends and loved ones.
Prior to camp, self-screen for 14 days for the presence of symptoms (fever of 100.4 °F or greater, cough, shortness of breath, diarrhea, fatigue, headache, muscle aches, nausea, loss of taste or smell, sore throat, vomiting, etc.).
DO NOT COME TO CAMP IF ANY OF THESE SYMPTOMS ARE PRESENT.
This is vital! In the past, there are campers many weeks who come to the nurse with a fever Sunday evening and when asked how long they have had a fever, they say for a couple of days. We know how badly you want your child to be at camp; we ask that you think of others at this time. Any carelessness could shut the camp down and would affect many campers.
As with any camp experience, we cannot guarantee with 100% certainty that no one will get sick; however, we strive to do everything we can to make this "the safest place on the planet, besides your home." We ask for your prayers for no snakes, no breaks...and no virus!
