What do I need to know about day camps this year during COVID-19?

The City of Edmonton adheres to the measures put in place by AHS and our local government. The safety of our participants, parents and staff are our number one priority. If health measures are not followed, expectations will be reviewed with the parent and child. If the health measures are continuously not followed, the child may be removed from our program and sent home.

Are the pro shops and clubhouses open?

Pro shops are currently open for regular facility hours. Clubhouse access is available for washroom use and food and beverage purchasing only, however we recommend all campers bring their own snacks and lunch. Seating is limited based on AHS restrictions.

Is there food and beverage service at any of the facilities where camps are being held?

As we cannot guarantee that food services within recreation centres will be open, please ensure your child brings snacks and lunch that do not require a microwave or fridge.

Children will not be allowed to share food and drink with other children.

Are the bathrooms available?

Yes, the bathrooms at each site are managed and cleaned by the City of Edmonton and will be accessible to campers and camp staff.

What are some of the operational changes you have made due to COVID-19?

We are committed to the health and safety of our participants and staff. There will be increased cleaning of high touch surfaces and washrooms, and our staff are required to complete a daily health screening prior to arriving at work.

Based on new camp regulations for the 2021 camp season, we are waiting on guidance from the Alberta government and will update once that information is provided.

Are you enforcing physical distancing?

Based on the current guidelines, physical distancing will be implemented. In order to maintain physical distancing, please discuss this situation with your child prior to the first day of camp. Failure to observe physical distancing risks closure of the camps.

What happens if my child becomes ill during camp?

If your child becomes ill while at camp, you will be notified and pick up will be required immediately. We recommend the Alberta Health Services online COVID-19 self-assessment is filled out as soon as possible. We will ensure that a thorough sanitization is completed on any objects or equipment your child may have touched.

What happens if another child or camp leader becomes ill during camp?

If another child or camp leader becomes ill during camp, pick up will be required immediately. We recommend the Alberta Health Services online COVID-19 self-assessment to be filled out as soon as possible. We will ensure that a thorough sanitization is completed on any objects or equipment they may have touched.

Is early registration available for members?

Due to the condensed timeline of registration, there will be no early registration for members.

Are member rates available?

For the summer of 2021, all fees for camps will be offered at the same rate (member and non-member).

Are the camps inclusive/accessible?

We are committed to providing a great camp experience for all. As you register, you will be asked to fill out paperwork that will help our camp leaders understand your child and make necessary modifications. You may be contacted prior to camp if more information is required.

Will I be able to use a Leisure Access Pass to register for camp?

Yes, LAP will still be available for day camp registration.

Why is the price different this year?

The pricing of our camps is reflective of the overall experience your child will have, while also balancing current health restrictions, and guidelines, that have impacts on supplies, and participation.

Will camps be indoors and outdoors?

Most camps will primarily be outdoors, with a few exceptions, such as City Arts Camps, which require indoor spaces.

What should my child bring to camp?

We ask that all campers be prepared to participate in outdoor activities, rain or shine. Based on current health restrictions, your child should bring a face mask. Also bring a water bottle, snack, lunch & appropriate, comfortable footwear.
