Covid-19 Policy & Response

PLEASE READ THIS CAREFULLY BEFORE REGISTERING. We are following the guidelines outlined by the Ministry of Health, and the Simcoe Muskoka District Health Unit. These are subject to change as policies are adapted. All participants will receive a clear outline of the expectations for our camp closer to our departure date. 

Further safety measures are as follows:

  • There is no pre-testing required to attend CampFire 2022.
  • Campers and staff will need to complete an at home screening prior to arrival. 
  • We’ll provide ample stations for hand washing and/or hand sanitizing.
  • The majority of our camp program occurs outside, as there are limited indoor facilities. 
  • We can provide parents and guardians with an outline of our safety plan closer to camp, if requested. 
  • While not required, we do encourage participants to be vaccinated. 
  • If we cannot proceed with CampFire on the Health Unit’s directive, a full refund will be issued. If a camper cancels within 48 hours, a refund will be issued, minus the $25 deposit, which is non-refundable.
