Please contact the site director for specific information on local requirements. Thank you choosing to stay or considering a stay at one of our wonderful sites. During these exceptional times we have taken precautions and developed specific protocols to provide you with a healthy and safe stay. The most important item is communication! If, after talking with the site director and reading our precautions and protocols, you still have questions, please contact the site director again. Please share your questions and if they are not able to answer, they will work with our administrative staff who, along with the site directors, are focused to make sure your stay is healthy and safe. August 2021 UPDATE: The following guidelines are designed for the HIGHEST precautions. However, because states have relaxed requirements, we are urging groups to continue to practice masking and safety measures even though local state and county guidelines may have loosened. Most groups have either youth or adults, so we have made our health and safety material pertinent to both groups. For detailed information, select from one these options: FOR YOUTH PROGRAMS FOR ADULT GROUPS THE FOLLOWING ARE SUGGESTED PRECAUTIONS, BUT NO LONGER MANDATED IN ALL LOCATIONS. PLEASE CHECK WITH EACH FACILITY REGARDING CURRENT PRACTICES.

Hand Sanitizer and disinfectant soap will be available throughout the site. A small number of masks will be available for purchase. Guests will be oriented to current social distancing practices including wearing of masks while indoors, maintaining 6-foot distance, avoiding touching other people, and maximizing use of outdoor spaces. UCCR staff will work with guests to maximize available space and help guests to maximize use of outdoor spaces when available/feasible. What UCCR Requests of Guests Youth programs will be expected to self-monitor their health prior to the event for 14 days. An example of the Home Health Screening form is in the UCCR Resource Guide for Health Providers. Best practice is to have each participant return to you or your camp health provider the completed form prior to departing for camp and that the form be reviewed before departing for camp. If a guest has any symptoms within 10 days prior to an event, they are expected not to come to the facility. Youth programs should provide a completed Medical form to the group leader either prior to departing for camp or upon arrival to camp. A sample Medical form is in the Resource Guide. Guests will practice social distancing and enhanced hygiene when and where recommended. This includes the use of masks and 6-foot distancing when indoors in the same room as others, frequent handwashing or sanitizing, not sharing objects (toiletries, communion cups, other high-touch items), and if sharing sleeping accommodations to maximize distance between other guests. Ventilation in buildings should be maximized; open windows instead of running AC or heaters. If a thermostat has a Fan: ON setting, it should be left in that position for the duration of the use of the meeting room if for lodging left ON for the duration of camp. If guests use AC or Heat, please close windows/doors. Cleaning supplies (Surface sanitizer and paper towels) will be available in restrooms and kitchenettes. The Site Director will orient your group to the proper use of these products. Please use these in between regular cleanings to maintain a sanitized public space. If doing your own cooking, contact the Site Director well in advance of your arrival to understand what items the site will provide and that you may not to provide. If own-cooking, respect social distancing by having one individual with clean hands plating food for guests. Buffet style meal service is strongly discouraged. As Covid restrictions change, these guidelines will be modified. Please be sure to work with the Site Director of the site you will be attending on current Covid restrictions. United Camps, Conferences and Retreats has a Covid-specific Communicable Disease Plan. Resources for the Plan were adopted from the CDC, American Camp Association, and state and local public health departments. If you would like to review the plan the Site Director can provide you with a copy. PDF OF EXPECTATIONS United Camps, Conferences & Retreats P.O.
