In the event of a positive COVID-19 case, MHKC will notify camper families, by email or phone.

All on-site staff/counselors/volunteers will be informed in person.
If there is a back-to-back program after the positive COVID-19case MHKC will inform the next programs camper families, staff/volunteers/counselors by email or phone as well.
MHKC always has safety as our number one priority.
Decisions to close Camp, delay or cancel a program to mitigate risk after the exposure won’t be taken lightly.
*All communications will be HIPPA compliant.

COVID-19 SCREENING QUESTIONS

At your time of arrival to the MHKC property, EVERYONE will be given a COVID-19 Screening Question sheet to fill out. Please complete this honestly and to the best of your ability.

If anyone answers “Yes” to any of the questions, they will immediately talk with the Head Nurse and Programs Director to address testing and options if coming back will be allowed.

STAFF/COUNSELORS/VOLUNTEERS

Everyone employed or volunteering is required to be fully vaccinated for COVID-19 before coming on the property.
Proof of vaccination will be required to be submitted in CampMinder.

At this time we are not able to require the COVID-19 vaccine of campers due to DHS guidelines.

*Everyone will be required to fill out an Assessment of Risk form during their registration process.

If you are wanting to attend an MHKC program and have a medical or religious exemption from receiving the COVID-19Vaccine, you will be able to apply for one when you fill out the Assessment of Risk Form.
These must be submitted at least one month before you are wanting to attend a program. The COVID-19 Response Team will need to review and approve the forms.
*Approval is not guaranteed*
Please find this option after you apply and fill out your required paperwork.
The COVID-19 Response Team will then email you more documents to submit.
