What are you doing to prevent the spread of coronavirus?
Campers and camp leaders will be grouped in pods that do activities independently of other groups to limit exposure across groups. Staff and campers will be required to wear masks at all times, except when eating. Staff and children will be seated at least 6 feet apart during lunch and snack periods which will be eaten outside in the park. Social distancing guidelines will be followed. Enhanced cleaning protocols will be implemented for high touch objects and surfaces. Staff and campers will be required to complete a CDC health screening, as well as have their temperature checked, at the start of each day
All in–person camps will follow Washington State Department of Health and Center for Disease Control protocols. Camp COVID policies and procedures may change based on updated local state and federal guidance and health recommendations.
What does my child need to bring?
Sweatshirt or jacket: Dress for the weather as we will spend lunch outside and some time outdoors in the park. It is always a good idea to have an extra layer for campers to put on if they get chilly.
Lunch + Snacks: Please bring nut-free snacks and lunch along with a water bottle with enough water for the whole day of camp.
Comfortable, active clothes: At camp kids will run, create, learn, jump, craft, and play—and that can often get messy! We will provide each camper with a T-shirt to wear during the day to protect their clothes.
If the kids are outside, when is sunscreen applied?
SAM Camp staff aren't able to apply sunscreen to campers. Please plan on applying it in the morning before camp begins and make sure to pack extra in your camper’s bag.
We’ve had a change of plans and my child will not be able to attend camp. Can I get a refund?
