Trinity 

God did not give us a spirit of fear but of love and power and self-control.     2 Timothy 1:7

​

Camp Trinity held on-site sessions of summer camp in both 2020, following the Arkansas Department of Health's Directive Regarding Summer Residential Camps. The directive was lifted in April 2021, replaced with recommendations. The camp held sessions in 2021 following most of the same protocols. For summer camp 2022, Camp Trinity will again whatever directives or recommendations the Health Department issues. The documents from the Department are too lengthy to post here but can be found at the health department website: https://www.healthy.arkansas.gov/programs-services/topics/novel-coronavirus

HEALTH & SAFETY PROTOCOLS

Your family’s safety on site is a high priority, second only to their spiritual well-being. We are taking extra measures to ensure a healthy, clean and sanitized environment at camp following protocols developed by the Arkansas Department of Health, the American Camp Association, and the CDC.

​

STAFF TESTING, TRAINING & QUARANTINE

All staff are screened and quarantine for two weeks prior to the first regular session of camp. They also take their own temperatures and the campers' temperatures daily. Any staff displaying symptoms consistent with COVID infection will be tested at the Conway County Health Unit. Staff are all trained in health protocols.

In addition, all staff are trained and certified in CPR and first aid through the American Red Cross.

​

CHECK-IN & PICK-UP

Parents of campers are asked to cancel registrations for children who have shown respiratory symptoms within two weeks of the start of any camp session. Parents are required to sign a form stating that their children have not exhibited any symptoms of COVID-19 for 14 days prior to camp and have not knowingly come into contact within anyone who tested positive for COVID-19 during the same period. We recommend but do not require that families quarantine their children at home for one week prior to the start of camp.

Parents were not allowed to enter camp at check-in but dropped off their children at the gate, where staff helped unload luggage.

​

MASKS

We required staff to wear masks during check-in for 2020 and 2021, and will do so again if called for by the state health department. Parents may also be encouraged to wear masks at check-in. We may also require mask wearing for campers at check-in and for off-site visits, such as the petting zoo and Visitor Center at Petit Jean State Park.

 

CLEANING & SANITIZING

We have deep clean and sanitiz all camp buildings prior to summer camp. While we have always had cleaning and sanitation procedures in place, since 202 we have taken additional, more stringent precautions to keep campers and staff safe. Shower stalls are sanitized daily during summer camp. Sinks, countertops, toilet seats and handles, doorknobs and other frequently touched surfaces are sanitized twice daily. Bunks, mattresses and furniture are sanitized between events. We have strengthened our regular procedures for cleaning and sanitizing the dining hall and kitchen. We have increased the amount of hand sanitizer placed throughout camp (every cabin has a hand sanitizing station). We encourage frequent and thorough hand washing.

​

Camp Trinity will continue to follow directives from federal, state, and local health officials regarding coronavirus protocols.
