Permission is required to visit camp during the non-summer months/“off season.” Please click below for detailed information on visiting camp. When camp is in session, for the safety of our campers and staff, visitors will be limited and updated information will be provided here.
Belknap’s medical advisory group is developing a detailed plan for symptomatic and positive tests during camp sessions. This plan will include plans for isolation, quarantine, contact tracing, and care of campers/staff.
Camp Belknap plans to include testing as a part of the 2021 plan for entry/admittance, diagnostic (symptoms) and surveillance. The exact timing, type of testing and logistics are being reviewed and will be announced as decisions are made. Belknap is aware that types of tests and criteria for their use are continuing to evolve and want to ensure we are implementing the best possible plan.
Masks for campers and staff will be a part of Belknap’s plan for preventing introduction and spread of viruses at Camp. Belknap will be providing more information at a later date about type and number of masks to pack for camp. Of note, for safety reasons campers and staff will be unmasked for sleeping, eating, showering and swimming.
Belknap’s mission remains unchanged. Belknap is working on modifications to the property/facilities and program in 2021 to enhance safety and still preserve the core principles of Belknap life. The pictures below will be updated as we make changes around camp.
Belknap plans on coordinated efforts to minimize exposure and risk on these high traffic days. Families will be made aware of exact pick-up and drop off times and procedures for campers and guardians. Information will be posted here.
Belknap will post an updated equipment list here that will include COVID specific needs such as masks.
Belknap will provide a checklist for families to follow 2 weeks before arrival at camp. Belknap plans to include at least the following as part of the pre-arrival checklist: low risk pre-camp behaviors including list of what activities to avoid, symptomatic screening, testing, and travel recommendations.
A pledge we will all agree to, to ensure that we all are compliant and focused on keeping ourselves and each other safe. More to come on this!
