As we continue to navigate the camp guidelines provided by the CDC, Louisiana Department of Education (LDOE), State of Louisiana Office of Public Health, St. Tammany Parish Government, and the American Camp Association, we want to assure you of all of our camps will be held within the standards of these new guidelines.
We would like to share with you what you can expect from us at the Children’s Museum of St. Tammany and the measures we are taking steps to provide a safe and healthy camp experience for your children and our staff.
These actions are as follows, but are not limited to:
Carline Drop-off and Pick-up Daily Procedures:
-
Parents and/or guardians will utilize our carline for daily drop-off and pick-up from camp. There will be a staff member to greet your child as they exit the vehicle. We ask that all passengers, including the driver, remain in the car during drop-off
-
At the conclusion of check-in, they will be escorted to one of our sanitation stations to wash their hands or use the provided hand sanitizer before beginning any activity. Hand washing will be required throughout the day for both campers and staff.
-
At the end of the day, campers will be escorted by a staff member to their vehicle. We ask that all passengers, including the driver, remain in the car during pick-up.
-
The morning carline begins at 8:45AM. The afternoon carline begins at 3:00PM.
Healthy and Safe Environment:
-
Each week, our camp sessions will be divided into small groups and social distancing will be practiced to the best of our ability.
-
Classes will utilize our large, covered, outdoor spaces as often as possible.
-
Campers and staff will take frequent restroom breaks and trips to our sanitation stations to wash hands.
-
Staff will conduct whole gallery cleanings frequently during the course of the day and at the end of each day. This will include but is not limited to, the cleaning of all learning/activity areas, shared activity supplies, tables, chairs, sinks and faucets, and restrooms.
-
We will suspend any large gatherings and any activities that require more than the allotted number of people per group.
Camper and Staff Health:
-
Campers and staff that have a fever of 100.4° or above, or other signs of illness, will not be admitted to the Museum.
-
Should a camper begin to show signs of illness that include, but are not limited to, a fever of 100.4° or above, running nose, or cough, a parent or guardian will be immediately notified and the camper will be isolated with a staff member until a parent or guardian arrives to pick up the child. Parents and/or guardians are expected to immediately pick up their child if notified.
-
Should a staff member begin to show signs of illness that include, but are not limited to, a fever of 100.4° or above, running nose, or cough, at any time during camp, they will leave the facility immediately.
Should this camp be canceled due to COVID-19, you will receive a refund of your tuition. Your tuition can also be transferred to a Museum Membership, Museum gift card, or applied to another camp session hosted by the Children's Museum. All participants will be notified of any changes, or cancellations, made to the scheduling of camps as soon as possible. The Children’s Museum of St. Tammany reserves the right to modify any policies and/or procedures based on any local, state, or federal mandates regarding COVID-19.
We are looking forward to a safe and fun camp for your children and our staff.
