Health & Safety Plan:

(Update: June 14th, 2020)

The following is designed to provide a safe environment for Phield House program attendees and their families.  Guidelines are based on recommendations from the Center for Disease Control, the American Camping Association and the State of Pennsylvania.  

General Guidelines

• Staff will be required to wear masks and/or face coverings
• Campers are strongly encouraged to wear masks 
• Restricted group size of 10 campers
• Campers stay with group and designated counselor(s) throughout the day 
• No drop-in/walk in sign ups will be accepted. Pre-registration only 
• Hand sanitizing & washing stations readily available
• Cleaning protocols throughout the day 
• No sharing of equipment, food, water bottles, or personal belongings 

Daily Check-in/Pick-up Procedure

Camp arrival and departure will be different from our previous camps.  The front parking lot will be closed off in order for ‘Captain’ Kurk Watson to convert the area into an outdoor camp station and to assist in the management of wellness screenings upon arrival.  Therefore, we will be directing everyone to park on the side of the building or in the back lot for drop-off and pick-up.  You may still pull into the main parking lot off of Spring Garden St., but you will then be directed to continue toward the rear of the building.   Another email will be sent each Sunday evening prior to the start of a camp week informing you of your drop-off and pick up zone.  (This is not an indication of camper grouping.)  Please do not stop your car in front of the drop-off or pick-up Zones.  We are requiring all parents/guardians to park and escort your child/children to your designated area for check-in and daily wellness screenings.  

Standard camp day will end at 3:00 p.m. and children will remain with their counselors until a parent/guardian arrives at their designated Zone for pick-up.  Again, please park and walk to your designated Zone.  A staff person will escort your child(ren) to your pick-up Zone.  If you are carpooling please inform a Phield House staff member in advance so we can appropriately notify counselors and switch Zones accordingly.   

Zone 1: located on the side of the building closest to Spring Garden Street.  

Zone 2: located on the side of the building and is centrally located near the large garage doorway.

Zone 3: located on the side of the building, closest to the rear of the facility (Batting Cages).

Daily wellness screenings will be conducted by our staff under the supervision of one of our Camp Health & Safety personnel as per the following Philadelphia Department of Health COVID-19 Screening Tool. This document will be utilized by our staff for daily screenings.  Temperatures will be taken by using a no-touch infrared thermometer.

Immediately following the temperature screening process the child(ren) will be escorted to a hand washing station and a secure area to place their lunch box and belongings.  Each group will have its own designated section within the facility. 

Campers are not permitted to share personal equipment, food, drink, and water bottles.  It is recommended that campers bring their own water bottles, which they can fill using our hydration station. If purchasing pizza lunch or snacks at camp they will be served by our staff while wearing gloves and proper face coverings.

This process will be completed daily and daily attendance reports will include a section to indicate each child has passed the temperature check successfully.  We appreciate everyone’s patience with this very important process. 

Hand Washing 

Hands should be washed by anyone entering the facility, when moving locations within the facility, at the end of the day, as well as before eating or handling food and if a staff member has made contact with a camper to provide medical care.  Hands should also be washed after using the bathroom facilities, handling garbage, being outside and after sneezing or tending to a runny nose.

Hand washing should last for at least 20 seconds.  

Meals

• Hands need to be washed before and after eating.
• Campers and their counselor(s) will eat together with their group in a designated area, safely distant from any other group.
• Campers will dispose of their own trash with counselor supervision.
• Staff will then clean/disinfect the eating area after each meal/snack.

Sick Camper Policy

Parents will be required to review and sign a Parental Agreement Form confirming they will not bring their child to Phield House programming if their child presents any of the symptoms regarding COVID-19 or feels ill in any way.  In the event of a child presenting a fever, he or she will not be allowed to enroll or remain in our program until quarantined for fourteen (14) days and all symptoms have dissipated.  If a camper presents symptoms during the day, we will isolate and contact a parent or guardian for pick-up. 

We will notify families regarding any reported cases of COVID-19.
