Covid 19 Safety Precautions
In order to ensure the safest possible environment for your child to enjoy their week at Conservation Leadership Academy we will adhere to the following guidelines as suggested by the CDC and ACA (American Camping Association):
  • Campers will be required to complete a screening prior to the start of camp. 
  • During the week, the campers and counselors will form a cohort.  All interactions that occur outside of the cohort (i.e. program presenters or on the bus for field trips) will require masks to be worn.
  • The number of campers will be limited to 10 with 2 campers per bunk room in order to allow for 6 feet head space when sleeping.
  • Meals will be either served without sharing utensils or individually wrapped.
  • All hard surfaces will be disinfected frequently.
  • Hand washing and sanitizer will be done frequently, after using the bathroom, after sneezing or coughing, before and after activities.
