CAMPS

All students must have an up-to-date Health and Immunization Form signed and stamped by their pediatrician. A copy of the physician’s most recent immunization record for this child must accompany this statement. Per licensing requirements: ALL immunization records must have a doctor’s stamp (including address) and authoring signature. Note: “My Chart” records without the aforementioned are not acceptable. We also require a signed acknowledgement of the Parent Handbook, Code of Honor, and Parent Waiver. No camper will be permitted unless their paperwork has been received. 

All individuals will be required to undergo a health screening prior to entering the building, conducted by a Shalom Austin staff member. There may be additional health screenings at times of transition. 

Yes! There will be a medical professional on campus during the camp day this summer.  

Any child or staff member feeling ill will be moved to an isolation space and sent home immediately. 

JCamps will only allow staff or children with any of the signs or symptoms listed above to return to school if the following procedures have been followed:

• If diagnosed with COVID-19, the individual may return to camp when all three of the following criteria are met:
  • At least 3 days (72 hours) have passed since recovery (resolution of fever without fever reducing medications)
  • Improvement in respiratory symptoms (cough, shortness of breath)
  • At least 10 days have passed since symptoms first appeared
• If the individual has symptoms that could be COVID-19 and wants to return to school before completing the above self-isolation period, the individual must obtain a doctors’ note indicating a negative COVID-19 test in addition to an alternative diagnosis (strep, ear infection, etc.). The note must state that “The child was seen and evaluated for _______________. The child does NOT have COVID-19 and is able to return to childcare without placing another child or adult at risk.”
• In the case of an individual who has symptoms that could be COVID-19, but chooses not to be evaluated by a medical professional or tested for COVID-19, the individual is assumed to have COVID-19, and may not return to school until the child has completed the same three-step criteria listed above.

If there is a person in the household who is ill, the child may not attend camp until all are well in the household. If any child, or anyone in the home has been in direct contact with any person having a positive COVID-19 diagnosis, it is required that the JCamps staff be notified immediately.

JCamps will not allow any child or staff with known close contact to a person who has been lab confirmed to have COVID-19 to return to school until the end of the 14-day self-quarantine period from the last day of exposure.
