Summer Camp Safety Plan
Health and safety is our top priority
Camp RIO values the safety of your children. We have developed the following protocols to help your children have a safe summer camp experience.
Cleaning & Disinfecting
- Summer staff and campers are trained on proper sanitizing procedures for hard surfaces and handwashing.
- Staff is trained on how to monitor campers to prevent behaviors that spread illness.
- At Camp RIO, daily morning cleaning of restrooms will include the use of EPA-approved disinfectant spray or wipes (2-minute contact time) of all commonly touched surfaces (bathrooms, cubbies, handles, doorknobs).
- Electrostatic sprayers will be used at least twice a week to spray canoes, handrails, benches, and all hard surfaces in contact with people.
- High-touch surfaces, including activity class items (like archery equipment, basketballs, etc.), will be sanitized with an organic, liquid spray sanitizer before every class.
- Camp staff will perform a detailed deep cleaning at the end of each week and before each new campers' arrival.
- Daily kitchen and dining hall protocols will include the continued use of dish machines that use multiple agents to clean and sanitize dishes within a high-temperature cycle.
- Hand sanitizer stations will be available around camp.
Staff & Camper Training
- We continue to monitor updates on COVID-19 and provide necessary training to our staff to implement recommendations/guidelines published by trusted government agencies and the American Camp Association.
- For our campers, we emphasize covering mouths when sneezing or coughing and handwashing right after, avoiding unnecessary physical contact, and not sharing personal items.
