Guidelines for Parents
 
If your child complains or shows signs of the following symptoms at home, please refer to these guidelines:
 

1. Rash or eye inflammation – Any child with an unexplained rash or eye inflammation should be kept home until the condition is diagnosed by a physician.
2. Fever – If a fever is present for any reason, a child should be kept home until the temperature has returned to normal for 24 hours and all symptoms have disappeared.
3. Cold – A child with acute early symptoms of a cold should stay home to prevent serious developments and to protect classmates and teachers from exposure to infection.  If this practice is followed, fewer absences due to respiratory illness will occur.
4. Stomach Ache – Any child who has vomited during the night or in the morning of school is required to keep that child home. Occasionally a young child may experience a stomach ache before leaving for school, parents are asked to use their judgement as to whether this is simple anxiety or an actual illness.

​​***Campers need to be fever/vomit free for 24 hours before returning to camp.***
