Your
concerns about H1N1
We know many parents are concerned about sending children into public settings with the flu virus so rampant.
As an ACA accredited camp, we want you to know that Makemie Woods has always taken the necessary
precautions to
keep our campers as safe as we can. To be more specific:
We have always
asked during the screening if anyone has been sick in the
household during the two weeks previous to camp.
Any camper
that has a fever of over 100 degrees is being sent home, and
their living space disinfected. We are asking these
families to have their child tested for H1N1, and will
notify families if we have had a camper that tests positive.
All campers
are using hand sanitizer at every opportunity, in addition
to hand washing. We have hand sanitizer on their dining
table, and they also use it before snack. This has been our
policy for some time.
The
American Camp Association has published
a video that addresses these
concerns:
