DAILY PRECAUTIONS AT CAMP FOR COVID-19 SAFETY

DROPPING OFF CAMPERS
We encourage you to review Girl Scouts Together with your family to understand Girl Scouts of Oregon and Southwest Washington's guidelines and begin considering what your family’s preferences would be for in-person Girl Scout activities. Camp Segonku is following Washington State guidelines for Child Care, Youth Development, and Day Camps During COVID-19 Outbreak.
(Updated April 14, 2021)
Face Coverings Update from GSOSW - June 14, 2021
Face coverings are required for all girl and adult participants at all INDOOR Girl Scout activities, regardless of vaccination status. Face coverings are not required for OUTDOOR Girl Scout activities, however, a minimum of six feet of distance should be maintained between persons.
What this means: No masks when outdoors at camp! 6ft social distancing still has to be maintained when not wearing a mask, even outside. Once indoors (including bathrooms) or inside of a vehicle, masks must be worn by everyone. All campers and volunteers should still bring a mask to camp and keep it on their person, and camps are encouraged to have extras on hand for anyone who may forget them.
Everyone in each vehicle must be wearing a mask and stay in the car until staff has taken the temperature of your camper with a contactless thermometer. Your camper will be asked a few questions and once approved, she will be escorted out of the car and guided to her unit.
• Stay home if you are sick.
• Cough and sneeze into a tissue, throw the tissue in the trash, and wash or sanitize your hands.
• Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, especially after going to the bathroom; before eating; and after blowing your nose, coughing, or sneezing. If soap and water are not available, use a hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol.
• Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth. Wash hands if you do touch them.
• Maintain physical distancing.

PERSONAL CONTACT
Camp Segonu has always separated girls into specific age units of approximately 6-8 girls. These units have been able to mingle with other units in the past, however, this year each unit will do all activities within their pod/cohort. If your daughter has friends of the same age level she would like to be with in her unit, please list those names on the camper registration form.
Hugs, handshakes, “high-fives,” and even activities like the friendship circle or squeeze can transmit COVID-19 from person to person. We will refrain from these gestures for the time being. Volunteers will create a safe way for girls to greet instead (like tapping elbows.)
There will be no community supplies in the pods, each girl will have her own supplies.

HEALTH AND SAFETY
The Camp Segonku Health Manager would like to remind girls that Girl Scouts wear face coverings (masks) not only to protect themselves but to protect others. Face coverings are a civic responsibility and a sign of caring for the community. Girls can bring their own face coverings. Camp Segonku will have disposable masks on hand for those who need them. SEE UPDATED INFO ABOVE 6/14
Each camper will receive a neck lanyard with a personal squeeze container full of antibacterial gel to use throughout the day. There will be handwashing stations set up as usual, along with Covid-19 safety volunteers keeping areas clean.
