Question 1

Why has KidzToPros decided to offer on-campus summer camp?

Accepted Answer

KidzToPros is offering a full summer of socially distanced on-campus summer camp at over 14 schools in the Bay Area. After months of shelter-at-home, we want to provide kids with the opportunity to get outside their house, socialize with other kids, and take on new and exciting learning challenges -- in an environment that is safe for their health. We did a careful review and analysis of the city and country requirements for holding on-campus summer camps and have put in place the needed procedures to ensure a safe and healthy environment.

Question 2

What protocols are you putting in place to ensure a safe and healthy environment?

Accepted Answer

KidzToPros is following the respective county health guidelines to ensure that our on-campus programs are run safely and smoothly, while providing fun and meaningful learning experiences for kids. Our COVID-19 procedures are based on the latest orders from each county:- Alameda County - Updated Order Directing Alameda County to Shelter at Home, dated June 11, 2020
- Santa Clara County - Guidance for Summer Camps, Summer School Programs, and Other Children’s Activities, dated June 5, 2020
- San Mateo County -  San Mateo County Health - Public Health Policy & Planning - ORDER No. c19-5f, dated June 4, 2020
- San Francisco County - Public Health Directive, dated May 26, 2020

Based on these directives, KidzToPros needed to make two changes to the structure of our on-campus camps:- All camps must be a minimum of three weeks. While the dates and times of individual camps mostly remain the same, we have combined our weeklong camps into three-week sessions.
- Each three-week session will support a stable group of no more than 12 kids and 4 instructors.

The precautions we are taking specific to running on-campus summer camps break down into three main areas: Screening, Social Distancing, and Sanitizing.- SCREENING- All staff and campers will be strongly encouraged to get tested before participating in camp. We will conduct a preliminary health screening with a quick email survey prior to the start of each camp.
- Upon arrival every day at camp, KidzToPros will ask a few short questions to make sure kids are healthy and free from symptoms of COVID-19 (shortness of breath or difficulty breathing, fever, chills, muscle pain, sore throat, loss of taste or smell, etc)
- We will also ask whether anyone in the child’s family is sick, has any symptoms of COVID-19, or has been exposed to someone who has tested positive for COVID-19 within the two weeks prior to arrival at camp. Depending on local city/county guidelines, students will be asked to stay home if a member of their household is sick.
- All children will be checked for fever with a contactless infrared thermometer.
- Any staff member or camper demonstrating a fever, repeated coughing and/or any symptoms of COVID-19 will be immediately sent home.
- Throughout the day, instructors and coaches will monitor kids to make sure they don’t develop any symptoms of COVID-19. If they do, parents will be notified and asked to pick up.

- SOCIAL DISTANCING- In order to minimize social interactions, we request parents and guardians not go beyond the drop-off and pick-up area. As possible, we ask that all parents remain in cars. A member of KidzToPros staff will direct traffic and lead kids to the check-in table.
- Depending on the number of kids at the camp location, KidzToPros may stagger drop-off and pick-up times to avoid large groupings of people at the school entrance.
- Groups from each camp will not commingle unless they are outdoors and at a safe social distance.
- Each group of campers will have their own restroom.
- SANITIZING- Hand-washing will be a regular camp activity and plenty of hand sanitizer will be placed around camp. All students will be instructed to wash hands with each major transition (arrival and departure from camp spaces, after breaks, before and after lunch). KidzToPros will use prominent visual and verbal daily reminders of proper hand-washing techniques.
- Before the start of camp and every evening, all classrooms, desks, tables and equipment will be cleaned and resanitized for the next day’s use.
- KidzToPros will ensure EPA-approved disinfectant is used throughout the day and every evening.

- ADDITIONAL SAFETY PROTOCOLS- Facial covering for students will be recommended or required according to local city/county guidelines. KidzToPros will provide a listing of cities and counties that require facial and/or other covering.
- Regardless of city/county guidelines, KidzToPros is asking all staff and campers to wear facial covering during all transitions (entrance to camp, breaks, lunch, trips to restroom, etc.) or anytime they may encounter a group of campers from another camp session.
- Students will be given daily reminders that sneezing and coughing should be done into a tissue or bent elbow. In particular, students in 2nd grade and younger will physically practice this daily in a fun, age-appropriate way. All students will also be instructed to wash their hands after sneezing or coughing.
- As much as possible, Instructors will remind students to not touch their faces. They’ll also teach respectful ways for students to remind each other to not touch their faces.
- KidzToPros will provide designated supplies and equipment for each camper so they will not be sharing with other campers.
- Games and activities will be structured with little to no contact with other campers. All campers will be encouraged to social distance at all times.

During the camp week, we ask that families take responsibility to maintain social distance outside of camp and to wear facial covering in public as required to reduce your child’s exposure to the virus.

KidzToPros will maintain extra supplies so that all kids will have what they need to maximize everyone’s health and safety. We continue to monitor and research the best practices from government health agencies and medical experts on how to maintain protection and safe hygiene for our staff and students.
