The C-Word

Based on current COVID guidance, we are requiring ministries to take temperatures of all group members prior to transport, requesting anyone with flu or COVID symptoms (you are sick) to stay home, and asking anyone with a positive test result in the last ten days or still in the recommended quarrantine for COVID to stay home. Angel Tree Campers will be individually checked on arrival.

We will have rapid tests and N95/CN-95 masks available from our Nurses for those who might want them. Anyone who tests positive for COVID at the retreat will be sent home. Their cabin group / close contacts that test negative may remain and isolate using mandatory masking and distancing in public areas.
