Over the last couple of years we have put several practices in place to ensure that we are minimizing the health risk of COVID19 for all of our staff, volunteers and campers, and that we are following the guidelines set by our local Public Health Unit and the Ministry of Health. At this time, we do not yet know what these requirements will be for 2022, but assure you they will be implemented fully and carefully. We ask that in return, our volunteers also follow guidelines as set out by Public Health, especially around health screening, mask wearing and vaccine recommendations.
