Scandia Camp Mendocino
2024 Covid Policy

We're looking forward to a fun-filled camp, with lots of dancing, music, and other activities. It will be great to reconnect with old friends and make new friends.

We are committed to taking necessary precautions to create a safe environment during camp, while knowing that cases may occur regardless of our efforts.

BEFORE CAMP

  • We suggest everyone to take a PCR or antigen test no earlier than two days prior to traveling to camp. We would be very sad if you came to camp without testing, then tested positive at registration, and had to immediately leave camp.
  • DO NOT COME TO CAMP if you feel sick within the two days prior to camp.
  • We recommend you wear a mask while traveling on public transit (in airports, on airplanes, trains, etc.)
    •

    TESTING UPON ARRIVAL

    Upon arrival at the Woodlands, everyone will be required to perform an antigen self-test prior to checking in. Testing will be done at a location in the Woodlands, but before you reach Camp One. We will provide the testing kits for this initial test.

    Once you receive a negative test, you will be given your cabin assignment and other information and can proceed to your cabin.

    Keep in mind that if your test is positive, you will be asked to return home.

    AT CAMP

  • Masks (N95 or equivalent) will be optional.
    •

    If you decide to wear a mask, please be sure to bring a sufficient number of masks with you to camp. We suggest bringing two or three masks per day and using a new mask each day.

    TESTING DURING CAMP

    Everyone will be required to test once during camp – on Tuesday. Please bring your own test kit to self-test during the week.

    Testing mid-week at camp will be done by a buddy system (i.e., please have someone witness the results of your test). A form will be provided at check-in to facilitate this process.

    If you feel ill during camp, you are required to immediately contact one of the camp directors.

    AFTER CAMP

    If, within seven days of attending camp, you come down with Covid, please contact the camp directors at directors@scandiacamp.org.
