Based on guidelines for summer camps received from the ACA and CDC, Camp Oak Hill will operate using the Concentric Circle of Infection Prevention model. This model suggests that in absence of medical risk factors, the likelihood of contracting an infectious disease is diminished by combining diligent social distancing practices with a reduced amount of exposure time around other people. To replicate this model, we are modifying our procedures in the following ways.

We are limiting each cabin to a maximum of 10 family members or friends. Each cabin will be considered as a “family unit” and will experience the entire retreat together. Members within their family unit will not be required to wear face masks around one another. Each family unit will practice routine social distancing, but this group will be well-connected and interactive with one another.

Beyond their cabin family unit, each cabin will be a part of a “crew.” A crew is a grouping of cabins, limiting their exposure to less than 40 people. Families within each crew may be allowed to experience certain activities together, but with stricter social distancing procedures. For example, two cabins within the same crew might use the pool at the same time, but they will be confined to two separate areas of the pool. This allows us to limit camper exposure to one another, enable accurate contract tracing should we need it, and allow time for proper sanitization of each activity area between each crew’s use.

Camp Oak Hill has taken extra measures this fall following ACA/CDC Guidelines specific to COVID-19. 

We are increasing the sanitization of equipment and facilities between each family unit’s use and each crew daily as well as an enhanced sanitization process of cabins.

We will also be increasing hand washing and hand sanitizer throughout the day for all families.

We will be reducing our overall capacity by 50 percent to 120 people. These smaller numbers reduce overall risk, improve social distancing on our 105-acre campus, and allow families to be able to participate in even more activities.

For $600 you will reserve one of our cabins for your family up to 4 family members. Any other family or friends staying in the cabin over 4 people will be an additional $50 per person. Children under 5 are free. Feel free to invite friends you feel comfortable staying with (Maximum amount allowed in one cabin 10 people) This is an all inclusive rate including lodging, meals, activities, etc. We have 12 cabins to reserve so space is limited.

Parents will need to sign an additional release form and a parent agreement reinforcing their responsibilities and commitment to making sure their family arrives at camp healthy. In addition to the regular healthcare forms, we are asking parents to record their family’s temperature and physical symptoms every day leading up to the weekend for ten days prior to check-in. This new required form will be available to download in your Campwise account and on our website.
