HEALTH & SAFETY POLICIES
Click below or scroll down to read about specific topics.
We know this might feel like a lot at first, but please understand our heart is to keep YOU and your fellow staff healthy and safe, as well as to follow our state mandates and help our host partners and parents feel safe in participating in camp this summer.
The better we all come alongside one another in these policies, the better our chance of running a full summer of camp, which means more kids get to experience the love of Jesus and don't have to experience the disappointment of a cancelled week of camp. And what could be better than that?!
Please don't hesitate to contact your directors with any questions you may have!
ARRIVAL AT CAMP
HEALTH SCREENINGS AND COVID-19 TESTING

We are requesting that all staff quarantine 10 days before arriving at camp by minimizing contact with others, being extra careful to use physical distancing and masks when around others.

According to state and local mandates, staff will be required to wear a mask whenever they are indoors, except when eating or sleeping.

When traveling to other states or counties with less restrictive guidelines, Eagle Lake staff will maintain compliance with guidelines established by the state of Colorado (or whatever state we’re in with the highest levels of restrictions; we are anticipating Colorado’s guidelines will be most restrictive.)
