Update – Jan 21, 2022 –

Healthcare professionals and applicable public health recommendations are guiding our response to COVID-19.  Vaccination requirements for the 2022 summer camping season are expected to include the following:

  • All staff must be fully vaccinated for COVID-19 prior to arriving at camp (currently two vaccines at least two weeks before arrival)
  • All campers (including everyone attending, volunteering, or visiting camp) aged 5+ must be fully vaccinated for COVID-19 prior to their arrival at camp (currently two vaccines at least two weeks before arrival).
  • Valid medical exemptions (in Ontario, a medical exemption approved by your public health unit and displayed on an enhanced vaccination certificate with QR code) must be shared with the camp office at least two weeks prior to arrival.  Exemptions from outside Ontario will be considered on a case-by-case basis and at camp management’s sole discretion.  Where a jurisdiction has a government process to evaluate medical exemptions similar to Ontario, evidence of such exemption will be requested.  If approved, alternative measures may be required (e.g., proof of a negative PCR test taken within 72 hours prior to arrival at camp).

The abovementioned criteria may be subject to change before camp as applicable public health guidance evolves (e.g., if a booster dose becomes required).  Red Pine Camp will do everything possible to provide notice via email and through our website should any of these policies change.
