Operations plan for Summer 2023 – updated 9/20/2022
(subject to change as conditions warrant)
Covid Safe. That’s our goal for 2023. We highly encourage all campers and participants to stay up to date on their vaccinations for COVID-19, as defined by the CDC . Being ‘up to date’ on Covid 19 vaccinations will be a requirement to work at Medomak, without exception. Should conditions change, we will continue to take into account the most current guidance from the CDC, the State of Maine, the American Camp Association, and industry best practices, putting plans in place to allow for fun and safe programming.
The safety of our customers, staff, and community is paramount and is the responsibility of all of us who will make up the Medomak community.
GENERAL COVID RELATED POLICIES/PROCEDURES
Vaccination
We strongly encourage our campers to be up to date on all their vaccinations, including against COVID-19; however, it is not a requirement to attend camp. We will continue to require all staff to be ‘up to date’ on their Covid 19 vaccinations.
Testing
Medomak reserves the right to require testing for COVID-19 of campers, participants, and staff, including the use of testing as a screening tool upon arrival, and/or for persons presenting symptoms consistent with COVID-19 infection. Should a positive test be confirmed, the participant will need to leave Medomak or isolate in their cabin. We are not equipped to provide medical treatment due to Covid.
Mask Policy
Medomak will follow current CDC recommendations on mask-wearing, as well as any mandates that may come from local and state authorities.
COVID EXPOSURE
Campers, participants, and staff who have been exposed to COVID-19 (regardless of vaccination status) will need to wear well-fitting masks when around others, as well as submit to serial testing for COVID-19. If they become symptomatic or test positive, they will need to isolate in their cabin, or leave camp.
Confirmed COVID Infection
Medomak is not equipped to offer medical treatment for COVID-19 disease. So, if any participant tests positive, they will have to leave Medomak or isolate themselves in their cabin for the health and safety of the others on site.

COVID WAIVER
The policies and procedures for Medomak this summer make foremost the safety of our campers, participants, and staff.
