COVID-19

Policy

We are committed to making this event safe and connecting. Our draft plan is as follows:

  • All attendees must self-isolate for four days before camp begins. This means avoiding crowded places and masking indoors. This is especially important when traveling via plane.
  • All attendees must take three consecutive days of antigen (rapid) tests and submit a photograph of the results to our covid coordinator.
  • All attendees must take periodic antigen (rapid) tests at camp.

Our policy will be finalized no later than December 7. If our final protocol does not work for you, if you decide to withdraw from attending a CFNC event for COVID-related issues, OR if we cancel the event due to a surge in COVID cases, we will issue you a full refund.

We request that you pay via Venmo or PayPal if you would like to pre-pay for an event, so that we can avoid paying credit card fees in the case of cancellation.

**NOTE: While we are requesting a period of isolation before the event, we are fully aware that the event is just three days after Christmas, and we understand the desire to be around family and friends at that time.  We are not asking you to stay home altogether.  We do ask you to be mindful and reduce exposure wherever possible:
  • Stay home from big parties, dances, concerts, etc., especially ones that do not require vaccination or masks.
  • If you must attend, please wear a mask, especially a high-quality mask like a well-fitted N95.
  • Please wear masks in public spaces (stores etc.) as well.
  • Transmission while outside is virtually zero, so if the weather allows, hang out with others outside as much as possible.
In addition:
  • Any attendees who get sick right before coming to the event are respectfully requested to stay home – we will refund your registration fee.
  • We will perform a rapid antigen test on everyone as they arrive.
  • After the negative pre-camp tests and the negative on-arrival tests are recorded, there will be no masking or distancing requirements for anyone attending the event – people are welcome to mask or distance if they choose.
  • Everyone will take additional antigen tests during camp; we are still determining the frequency.
  •  At the event, please report any symptoms ASAP to the Health Coordinator.
  • Isolation space(s) are available for anyone symptomatic and/or testing positive and unable to leave the event.
  • After the event, for the two weeks following your departure, report any symptoms or positive COVID test results to the organizers so we can inform the group and prevent spread in our home communities.

We welcome suggestions and questions to make this a safe, delightful experience for all. Please email us at info@cfnc.us.

*Protocols subject to revision in the event of major changes in the COVID-19 pandemic – Full refunds will be given for any COVID-19 related cancellations.
