THANK YOU SUMMER CAMP FAMILIES!
General Camp Safety
Security Guards
Camp RIO employs Security Guards to patrol the property from sundown to sunrise during our summer camp season.
Fenced Property
Camp RIO has fencing around it's 85 acres and much of it is also covered with thick thorn brush which would be difficult (and painful) to get through.
Locked Gates
Camp RIO is secured by two electric gates which are locked at all times. Entry is only permitted by appointment.
Visitor Rules
All visitors to Camp RIO must submit to a background check and receive a visitor badge before walking around property. They will also be accompanied by a Camp staff member as required.
Restricted Access
Certain areas of camp like the swimming pool and maintenance shop are locked when not being used to prevent campers from accessing those locations.
COVID Safety Plan Summer 2022
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.
Additional Measures
