Reporting and Exclusion Guidelines for Camps are similar in nature to the Reporting and Exclusion Guidelines for Schools.
If campers or staff become ill, please check our Reporting and Exclusion Guidelines for Schools for guidance.
Connect with our Communicable Disease Program to know if an exclusion is needed for a camper or staff, and for how long, especially if you are dealing with any of the following:
- Outbreak: If an outbreak is declared, this may change exclusion guidelines.
- Food Handlers: Exclusion guidelines may be different if an ill camper or staff handles food/beverages.
- Animal Bites: All animal bites and scratching matters are to be reported to our Environmental Health Program (see Appendix C: Contact Information). Advise children not to approach dead, sick or unknown animals.
The Health Protection and Promotion Act, 1990, Regulation 568 for Recreational Camps, section 5 states: Every operator shall ensure that every person living in a camp or employed in a camp is free of any communicable disease or any infectious agent thereof. R.R.O. 1990. Reg. 538. S.5.
