· Everyone is welcome to make their own choices regarding whether to wear a mask that covers the nose and mouth while at camp.
· Each unit will have access to sanitation supplies, including hand sanitizer, cleaning wipes, hand soap, and jugs of water. Campers will clean their hands before beginning a new activity and before eating.
· Units will stagger their visits to the portable toilets, handwashing stations, water stations, and other normally high-traffic areas.
· Portable toilets and washing stations will be serviced twice during the camp week. Portable toilets will be locked outside of camp hours. They will be labeled for the use of Bothell Day Camp only.
· Water bottle filling stations will be sanitized frequently.
Illness and injury

· Visitors to the first aid station will be well spaced, particularly for those feeling ill.
· Campers with minor symptoms, typical of camp during hot weather, will be given liquids and a chance to rest, away from others. A camper who feels well within a short time will be allowed to rejoin the unit.
- Campers with more serious symptoms, or who do not feel better after a short time, will go home. A parent/guardian is expected to pick up the camper within 30 minutes of being called.
· Camp staff will notify members of the camp community who might have experienced exposure to an ill individual. Actual health information about individual will of course remain confidential.
