Hello Parents and Campers,

God is Good, All the Time, All the Time, God is Good! The current data of reported Regional COVID numbers and discussions with local Atchison County authorities has provided us the comfort of new COVID restrictions for Camp Savio 2021. These restriction changes are stated below and the complete list of our restrictions and protocols are on our website. https://campsavio.com/covid-19/ 

We will no longer require masks outdoors unless there are specific activities that require a close proximity with another person, such as ropes course elements.
We will still wear masks indoors unless individuals are able to remain 6 ft. apart.
We will notify and explain these restrictions to campers on Day 1 and remind them daily.

Steps we are asking each camper to accomplish:

Fill out the Covid form and turn it into your group leader. This form can be downloaded from your Camp In Touch website and go to the Forms and Documents page. https://campsavio.campintouch.com/v2/login.aspx If you have issues logging in, please email us.
Quarantine 2 weeks before arriving at camp.
Symptom check upon arrival and constantly throughout camp.
Masking if they are within 6 feet of others indoors and on the ropes course.
Masking at specific times for safety that we suggest (in the food line, on buses, ropes, parish pow wow if necessary, small group discussion, etc.)

Please notify each camper of what we would like them to accomplish during their attendance. We are excited to walk with all campers this summer as they are seeking Christ. If you are still interested in attending, please speak with your Youth Minister and click on this link: https://campsavio.com/camp/camp-savio-registration/

Social Media: Video explanation of these main changes is what we will utilize for a social media posting along with the 4 tasks we are asking of each camper.

We are taking the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic very seriously. We understand the gravity of the illness, and the potential threat that it poses both to campers and staff. Nevertheless, we are excited to resume camp programming this summer! We are committed to doing everything in our power to protect all those who visit camp, and we are excited for summer and all that it will hold.

Below you will find helpful information about our response to the spread of this illness, as well as additional third party information to which we are adhering.

Policies on Camp:

Each guest/guest family will be required to have this COVID-19 Guest Practices form signed in order to participate at any program

We have a daily cleaning regimen of all high-touch, public surfaces. Using industrial strength products HALT and NABC Concentrate 1 cleared for anti-viral management, we will comply with all State and Department of Health standards to reduce illness transmission. In accordance with good practice, we are also encouraging frequent and thorough hand-washing by all on-site.

Additionally, we are fully adhering to the Diocese of Kansas City-St. Joseph’s directives regarding the celebration of Holy Mass. More information can be found here.

Finally, we encourage all of our guests and program participants to be prudent! Please remain home if you are ill, in any way. While we recognize it would be a sacrifice to miss time spent heres, we also desire to limit exposure of staff and other guests to illness, be it COVID-19 or any other virus.

Camp Fee Assurance Policy:

In an effort to reassure and calm the fears surrounding registration for camp programming in the midst of this ongoing situation, we are instituting a Camp Fee Assurance Policy for our summer programs. While our typical registration protocols include a non-refundable deposit, we are temporarily freezing these procedures and putting this Assurance Policy in place. This will mean that all deposits will be refundable up to the beginning of a camp program, whether due to personal hesitation and fear over public exposure OR due to the suspension of all camp programming.

As it stands, we encourage you to register for camp, pay the deposit or fees in full, and guarantee your spot, as space is limited. Nevertheless, you can rest easy knowing that should the situation worsen, your payment is fully refundable.

Notification:

Finally, we are committed to maintaining transparency and open communication with clients, guests, and everyone in the KCSJ Camps family. Should COVID-19 exposure occur on camp, notification will be made in a swift and clear method to all those potentially affected. In a reciprocal manner, if you or anyone you know has visited camp and subsequently been tested positive for COVID-19, we ask that you immediately notify camp staff by or email (camp.savio.kcsj@gmail.com).
