Before Camp Starts

It is paramount that everyone arrives healthy to camp. We are counting on every camper, staffer, and family member to comply with the pre-camp low-risk behaviors to protect each other and our shared camp experience.

Prescreening: regardless of vaccination status, parents will be required to monitor their camper’s health for the 14 days before camp. The tracking form will be physically mailed to you.

For the week prior to arrival at camp, campers and members of their household should engage in low-risk behaviors, even if campers and members of their household are vaccinated. Low-risk behaviors include

• Limiting interaction with individuals outside of your household
• Being outdoors
• Physical distancing
• Wearing a mask in congested spaces regardless of vaccination status
• Wearing a mask in indoor spaces if unvaccinated
• Good hand-washing hygiene

VACCINES

• We urge all campers who are ages 12+ to get vaccinated in time for your camp session.
• All of our staff members have been or will be vaccinated in time for camp
• We urge our campers’ parents/guardians to get vaccinated as soon as possible, as this will help greatly in reducing transmission at home and into camp.

Pre-Arrival COVID-19 Testing: all unvaccinated participants need to arrive at Gotta Camp with a negative PCR test result received within the prior 72 hours. Rapid or Antigen test are not acceptable. Camper will be asked to show their test results as the first step of Check-In.

• You can find a testing option in New Hampshire here: https://www.dhhs.nh.gov/dphs/cdcs/covid19/documents/covid-testing-options.pdf
• You can learn about testing in Massachusetts here: https://www.mass.gov/info-details/find-acovid-19-test

Check-In Day

Check-In will take place in the giant white tent outside of the Spaulding-Emerson Student Center. Parents are not permitted to enter the dorms or any campus buildings, and we discourage additional family members from tagging along this year. All tuition payments and most paperwork must be submitted before check-in day! Please wear a face mask.

Check-in will go in waves:

• Campers with last names A-K will start at 2:00
• Campers with last names L-Z will start at 3:00

Be ready with:

• Negative PCR test (required for all unvaccinated participants)
• Pre-Camp Symptom Tracker
• COVID-19 Self-Declaration form
• Any medications, labeled, in the original container
• Fort Knox contributions

Every camper will undergo a temperature check and lice check. Any preordered Gotta Gear will be distributed when you arrive, and a small selection will be available for sale on site.

After check-in, proceed to your dorm. Your child’s dorm leader will be there to greet you. Parents are NOT allowed inside any campus building, including dorms. Campers should be ready to move themselves in!!

While at Gotta Camp

Almost everything will take place outside! Don’t forget sunblock!

Masks will be worn by all campers when inside any buildings, and while outside when unable to physically spread out. The only time masks will not be worn is in one’s dorm room, while eating, or while swimming.

Campers and Staffers will receive daily temperature and symptom checks. Any participant who displays symptoms will be taken to Huggins Hospital for a COVID-19 test, and will need to be isolated until test results come back. If the test is positive, that person will need to go home immediately.

If you have any specific questions or concerns not addressed here, I’m more than happy to chat with you – email me at lou.mckenna@nhicc.org
