Day and Overnight Camps
Understanding how COVID-19 is transmitted and ensuring that proper public health measures are in place is important for preventing the spread of COVID-19 in day and overnight camps.
PHO has prepared resources to support pre-camp planning and daily camp operations on topics including: COVID-19 transmission, personal protective equipment, hand hygiene, physical distancing, environmental cleaning and cohorting. Implementing all recommended public health measures is important to help prevent the spread of COVID-19 in your facilities (i.e., no single measure should be relied on by itself).
If you have questions about implementing public health measures at your camp, please contact your local public health unit.
