Covid -19
It is with great excitement that we begin to prepare for Hooptown Summer 2021. As we look ahead, we recognize there are many questions surrounding how camps and clinics alike will operate with the COVID-19 pandemic.
State and town restrictions are constantly evolving and each day we receive new information and recommendations on how to safely operate our businesses, while keeping campers and staff safe. As we will follow all current public health guidelines, we will be taking the following steps to keep everyone safe and healthy
Our health and safety approach includes, but is not limited to . . .
Updated 6/1/21
Basketballs:
Each camper will be required to bring their own Indoor/ Outdoor basketball . Each ball must be labeled with the campers name. Hooptown will also be selling new Hooptown Indoor/Outdoor basketball for $15.00 - while supplies last.
Cohorts/ Teams:
Coaches are assigned to the same cohort for the duration of the session. Coaches will not float between cohorts.
Staff Training/Orientation:
We will continue with our annual staff orientation. We will review our new COVID-19 protocols, education on reporting of symptoms, daily hygiene, etc. Each staff member will be trained and signed off on the above.
Camper Orientation:
An orientation will be provided to campers at the start of each session to review COVID-19 protocols, encourage and educate on reporting of symptoms and not to come to camp if sick, and how to request a replacement mask.
Hand Washing & Sanitizing:
There will be an emphasis on hygiene throughout the camp session. We will encourage hand washing throughout the camp day and will have sanitizer readily available.
Checking for symptoms each morning by families and caregivers is critical and will serve as the primary screening mechanism for COVID-19 symptoms. If any symptoms are present, staff and campers will not attend camp.
Facility Sanitization:
All areas of the facility will be cleaned using appropriate EPA approved material. These areas will be cleaned multiple times throughout the day.
Ventilation:
We will ensure that ventilation systems operate properly and increase circulation of outdoor air as much as possible by opening windows and doors, using fans, and other methods.
VISITOR POLICY:
There will be no visitors allowed inside of our facilities during camp hours.
