Plan to add Oak Tree Camps to your Summer Plans!

Dear Oak Tree Family,

We hope your family is doing well. You've been so patient with us as we carefully and thoughtfully plan for summer 2021. We can not thank you enough.

Oak Tree Camps has been successfully providing a summer of safe, age-appropriate, and memorable experiences for children for nearly 10 years. We have been pleased to be able to serve you all. In 2020 life came grinding to a halt for most, if not all of us. We are grateful to those of you who are returning. We have every intention of continuing to care for your children with the same concern, interest, and energy as we prepare for summer 2021.

The success of our program is based, in part, on:

• · High standards of care for your children

• · High expectations and training of our staff and counselors

• · Preparedness and implementation of strict Covid protocols

• · Boundaries clearly defined for campers and staff

Oak Tree is a family. The well-being of your children, both physically as well as emotionally, continues to be our number one priority.

Over the past few months we have been working to secure a safe location for summer 2021 and we are happy to inform you that we will be having camp at Stone Mountain Park from June 1st- July 30th daily from 8am - 5:30pm (before and aftercare available)

In the coming days, we will be outlining our summer camp reopening plan and addressing all your questions and concerns.

To begin, we’ll highlight the following in this email:

• · Location updates

• · Camp Covid Protocols

• · Registration

• · Upcoming dates to remember

SUMMER CAMP AT STONE MOUNTAIN PARK

It's been shown that the risk of spread is greatly reduced in an outdoor setting. We will be 100% outdoors with the shelter of the Sports Pavilion at Stone Mountain.

Campers will be able to enjoy a wide array of activities throughout the day, rain or shine.

OAK TREE CAMP COVID PLANS & PROTOCOLS

• We plan to adhere to the strict guidelines provided by the CDC and ACA. Including but not limited to:

• Parents will remain in vehicles during drop off and pick up

• Pre-check in will be done digitally

• Campers will sanitize hands prior, during and after camp.

• Daily temperature check upon arrival. Campers with a fever at or above 100.4 or exhibiting any symptoms, will not be able to attend camp.

• Daily health check from parents prior to drop-off.

• Sanitizing equipment and materials as scheduled throughout the day

• Pod groups of 10 or less. Pods should consist of the same group of individuals for the entire period of pod activity. Campers should be pre-assigned to a group and their camp staff to a pod grouping. The pod assignment will not change from day-to-day.

• Staff and campers will wear masks when appropriate and as directed by County/CDC.

• Regular staff covid testing

• Parents are asked to supply their child with their own masks/face coverings; however, if a mask/face covering is needed, the camp will provide a mask/face covering as appropriate

• All campers and staff should practice distancing whenever possible and avoid prolonged close contact

• Campers and staff must also monitor their health daily. This includes monitoring temperature, watching for COVID – 19 symptoms, and following CDC and Department of Health recommendations if symptoms develop to stay home

• Campers and staff should stay home when sick or showing symptoms of COVID-19. Our camp as a contingency plan for any staff call outs

• Staff will be provided with cleaning supplies to clean their workspaces and activity areas after their use

• High-touch areas are the priority and must be cleaned and disinfected on a regular basis. These high touch areas include areas such as doors, door handles, tables, play equipment, etc.

• Limit the number of individuals allowed in a restroom at one time based on the number of stalls or urinals. Hand washing required

• Staff should limit any activities where multiple groups interact

• There will be no use of communal supplies. Campers will have individual supplies for things such as arts and crafts.

• Hand washing will be required before and after using all equipment and visiting playgrounds.

• Hand washing required before and after eating.

• Staff should stagger playground use rather than allowing multiple groups to play together to the extent possible

• Contact tracing in collaboration with DeKalb Board of Health. Implementing our parent communication plan for any communicable diseases.

• Regularly observing and implementing this plan to adjust health and safety needs.
