Health and Wellness: Summer Residential Expectations

At Home

• Complete participant health form through CampDoc one month prior to session
• Required two weeks self-quarantine prior to session (limit interactions with people and places outside of immediate family)
• Required proof of negative COVID-19 test within three days prior to arrival

 

In Transit

• Private transportation is preferred
• Limited pick-up and drop-off from the Bemidji airport (June 20/July 17; July 25/August 21)

 

Arrival

• One Village-specific drop-off point with a pre-scheduled arrival time as designated in your Dean Welcome Letter
• Health screenings will be conducted for all villagers

 

At Camp

• Each Language Village will be its own closed bubble (sorry, no visitors allowed this year)
• We will maximize outdoor activities with outdoor dining and classrooms
• For the first two weeks, all participants will be assigned to a small family group or cohort. This small family group will interact, live and eat together. Masks and distancing will be required during much of this time (meals, sleep and water activities excluded). Larger group activities will take place outdoors and appropriately distanced.
• Two rounds of COVID-19 testing will be conducted onsite between Days 5 and 10

 

Return

• To protect everyone, we will have virtual closing ceremonies
• Pre-scheduled pick-up time windows as designated in your Dean Welcome Letter
• We encourage a cautious and thoughtful return to any vulnerable family members
• We ask for prompt notification if any child tests positive within ten days of leaving camp
