Camper Illness Policy

The Cheer Experience believes that individuals thrive at camp when they’re healthy and happy. Illness is a time for resting safely and comfortably at home. Staying home when you’re sick protects you from more significant health issues. It also protects others from a potentially communicable disease by eliminating the exposure.

​

If your child feels ill or has been exposed to a communicable disease, notify us to reschedule your camp stay. It’s in your best interest to stay home when you’re sick. It provides you with the best opportunity to rest and recover without risking more serious complications away from your home and local physician. It also protects the camp community from the spread of illness.

• If your child is experiencing any of these symptoms, please refrain from bringing them to camp.

• Fever: Individuals should remain at home with a fever above 100.4°. 

• Coughing/Wheezing: Individuals coughing, wheezing, or exhibiting other respiratory symptoms should stay home. Individuals experiencing respiratory symptoms combined with fever or other cold symptoms will be asked to return home and reschedule their stay.

• Colds: Colds can seem harmless but are communicable and can pose a threat to individual safety and the camp community. If your child displays cold symptoms and/or is generally not feeling well, please stay home.  

• Vomiting: If your child has vomited within 24 hours of camp arrival, do not come to camp. 

• Diarrhea: If your child is experiencing diarrhea,, the individual should stay home until the illness passes. 

• Conjunctivitis (pink eye): If an individual has pink or red conjunctiva with white or yellow eye discharge, they will not be admitted into camp. 

• Head lice: All individuals coming to camp should conduct a home check for head lice before they travel. If any signs of lice are seen, stay home and treat them immediately. 

• Other communicable illnesses: All individuals should be illness-free when coming to camp. If a camper's health is in question, stay home and contact us to reschedule your stay.

• This Illness Policy protects individuals and the camp community by reducing the spread of disease. It enables all of us to enjoy camp by keeping health and safety as our top priority. We trust our camp families to follow this policy and contact us anytime there’s a question. When in doubt, stay home and stay safe.
