Summer 2021 Program Changes:

Our program has been modified over the past year to maximize the safety of our campers and families while including all the signature Gan Izzy excitement, fun, staff & friends.

Health & Safety Updates & Guidelines:

• Children will be reminded to stay extra careful with hand washing, using sanitizer and other important hygienic guidelines at all times. All children and staff will wash their hands between all activities and before and after eating.
• Supplies and toys in the classrooms will be specifically chosen to be easily sanitized. The staff will be regularly cleaning and sanitizing the shared classroom furniture including the sinks, bathrooms and tables. Shared equipment will be sanitized between each use.
• No parents or visitors will be allowed in the building.
• All food areas will be thoroughly cleaned and sanitized before and after eating. Children will be reminded of proper hygiene practice.
• Any child who has experienced fever, vomiting, cough, diarrhea, loss of taste or smell or other symptoms typical of Covid-19 or has been exposed to a household member experiencing symptoms, will be unable to rejoin the program until 72 hours after the symptoms subside, in most cases a negative test result and/or doctor’s note will be required before returning.
• Any child or staff member who displays a high temperature or other symptoms during the camp day will be isolated from the rest of the group and sent home ASAP. Parents will be notified of any possible exposure to illness.

Drop-off & Pickup Procedures:

Parents are required to check their children’s temperature before arriving at camp each morning. All campers will be welcomed outside by our staff and screened and temperature checked with a contact-less thermal thermometer before being checked in each morning, any camper with a fever of 100.4 or higher will be sent home. Only after being screened can your child enter the building. When entering, all children will be required to wash or sanitize their hands.

Sign in and out will be using the touchless Procare app on your phone. We will also be using the app for parent communication for information on your child's day at camp and photos. Please note, this app will only be used for the preschool program, not for the older school-aged children at Camp Gan Israel.
