Big Fun COVID-19 FAQs
What safety measures will you have in place during camps?
Staff and campers should self-screen each day that they attend the camp, at the start of the day, using the
applicable checklist for their age group.
We will be following the current AHS guidelines, which can be found
here.
Symptomatic campers are asked to stay home, and should a camper become symptomatic onsite, we will keep them apart from other attendees and arrange for them to return home immediately.
What action will be taken in the event of an outbreak or spike in cases leading up to or during summer camps?
If there is a spike in cases, in Alberta or the Bow Valley, making in-person camps inadvisable, Alberta Health Services will be contacted for guidance. Families will be advised accordingly.
