June COVID-19 Update

Two Sentinels Campers and Staff,

After the recent California state reopening on June 15, we’ve reviewed the most recent CDC and Girl Scouts of Northern California guidelines with the Amador County Environmental Department. We want to update you on the adjustments we’re making to our current COVID-19 protocols at camp as a result. We will continue to adjust accordingly and communicate any changes to you in advance of your camp session starting. We need and appreciate your flexibility, understanding, and patience as we work hard to make camp safe and possible this summer. 
CRITICAL REMINDERS

• All vaccinated camp persons (staff or campers) must provide proof of vaccination.
  
  • You can upload proof of COVID-19 vaccine in Ultracamp up to 3 days prior to camp arrival; or you can show your vaccine card in person (a copy or cell phone picture is fine) when you arrive at the bus stop (or at camp if you are going directly there).
    
• All unvaccinated camp persons (staff or campers) must present a negative COVID-19 test result from within 3 days of arriving at camp. Any type of COVID-19 test is acceptable including over-the-counter tests.
  
  • If you had COVID-19 in the 3 months prior to camp, you can bring either dated proof of confirmed COVID-19 infection OR a positive antibody test result. 

Changes to COVID-19 Protocols at Camp
Masks

• For most outdoor activities, we will not require masks, regardless of vaccination status and intermingling of groups.
  
• We will still require masks for high transmission activities outdoors such as making lunches and setting tables for meals.
  
• We will require masks indoors, regardless of vaccination status. Indoor experiences are minimal at camp, like going into the Birdhouse to get daily medications, carpooling to offsite activities, or riding the bus.
  
• We support and encourage anyone who feels more comfortable wearing a mask more often to continue to do so.
  

Meal Times

• All units will eat meals at the same time on the Dining Deck instead of staggering meal times. Units will still eat together as a cohort--no intermingling at meals.
  

All-Camp Gatherings

• We will not require masks for all-camp gatherings outdoors where units remain in cohorts. This may include daily flag ceremonies, campfires, Wishboat, and other large all-camp gatherings.

Previously communicated COVID-19 protocols not noted as changed above remain the same. See the COVID-19 page on our website for a full list of current protocols.
