Health and Wellness Precautions

Hidden Acres is known for clean facilities.  Our housekeeping team cleans and disinfects between each guest groups’ stay at our facility.   We are taking the precautions necessary to make our guests stay as safe as possible. 

What we are doing:

  • Educating group leaders about our cleaning procedures 

  • Providing hand sanitizer for guests to use

  • Asking group leaders not to bring symptomatic guests, and if discovered, isolate and send home immediately

  • Dining experience will be modified to reduce exposure for our guests and staff.

What Retreat Leaders Should Do:

Perform health screening before arriving at camp

Do not bring anyone who:

  • Has oral temperature above 100

  • Has a cough/or sore throat

  • Does not feel well enough to participate in activities (achy, fatigued, etc)

If a guest demonstrates symptoms while at Hidden Acres, our policies require that leaders isolate and send home immediately.  Isolation spaces will be provided for guests displaying symptoms until arrangements can be made for them to be picked up or taken for treatment.

Retreat Guests Before Camp:

For 14 days prior to your retreat 

  • Reduce exposure to others

  • Reinforce proper personal hygiene techniques at home

  • Monitor for symptoms

  • Do not send any guests to camp if they have been exposed to someone with Covid-19 or are displaying symptoms.

Facilities

  • High contact surfaces in the dining area, and other common areas should be cleaned more frequently (We will provide a kit of disinfecting cleaners for your team to use.)

  • Hand Sanitizer will be available in all the buildings and to use prior to recreation equipment use.

Retreat Guests While at Camp

Guest Interaction:

  • Modified arrival and departure procedures to limit interaction between groups.

  • Proper hand washing & personal hygiene technique emphasized.

  • Organize your group into teams who operate independently from each other to the greatest extent possible.

Medical Care

  • We encourage retreat groups to provide their own trained medical staff.

  • Group leaders will be required to ensure that daily temperature and symptom checks are performed and recorded.

  • Minors who exhibit symptoms must be able to be picked up by parent/guardian within 4 hours.

After Camp

Limit Interaction:

Guests should limit interaction for 14 days after their retreat with those who are at higher risk of serious illness.
