Arts Adventure Camps 2024 COVID Protocols

Please read carefully to prepare for Spring 2024 and Summer Camp 2024

These are the current protocols we will have in place during our in person camps during Spring 2024 and Summer 2024.  We are committed to providing a safe and nurturing environment and will take all the necessary steps available to us to avoid any exposure to COVID. Although we strongly encourage everyone to be fully vaccinated against COVID, at this time, we do not require proof of vaccination against COVID.  However, your due diligence in protecting the health of your children and the other children they come in contact with will require parents to self-screen and monitor their child for symptoms of ANY contagious illness on a daily basis.  If any symptoms are noted, PLEASE KEEP YOUR CHILD AT HOME, immediately contact your health care provider and immediately notify us so that we can ensure the safety and protection of everyone.  As we continue to monitor CDC and Fairfax County Health Department guidelines and recommendations, please know these protocols are subject to change without prior notice and we retain the right to change protocals without prior notice. Currently we generally follow Falls Church Public Schools 2023-2024 COVID Guidance.... CLICK HERE for details. 

Drop Off & Self Screening

Parents must complete a pre-screening survey each morning when dropping off a child.  If a camper has experienced any symptoms of contagious illness within the previous 24 hours we ask that they be kept at home.  Creative Cauldron can provide hybrid programming for your child upon request.

Social Distancing & Masking

 The decision about mask-wearing and social distancing protocols will be made based on community spread and current CDC guidelines, but parents should be aware that mask wearing by campers is optional  while indoors. No masks will be required during activity outdoors. 

Hand Washing & Sanitizing

Campers and staff will be asked to wash hands after bathroom breaks and use hand sanitizer after touching frequently used surfaces.  Bathrooms and high touch surfaces will be disinfected  using a non-toxic EPA approved solution.  A professional cleaning company will clean on a bi-weekly basis. 

Communication

Should any camper develop symptoms of illness believed to be contagious, the camper will be immediately separated from their cohort and kept in an isolated area until they are picked up by a parent.  Parents are required to notify us if their child or anyone in their household tests positive for any contagious illness and follow Fairfax County health department guidelines. 

HVAC and HEPA Filters

We have taken some further steps to ensure the safety of our staff and campers including installing Air Scrubbers and HEPA filters in our HVAC system.  We have additional portable filters in our bathrooms.
