CAMP KINNERET CAMPER & PARENT HANDBOOK - OUR GUIDE TO THE BSE!
AN IMPORTANT MESSAGE FROM GUY

Shalom,

After 16 months of limited social interaction, uncertainty and many challenges, we look forward to
welcoming our campers to the Camp Kinneret season of 2021! Our staff have been working hard
since January to develop programs that resonate, inspire and bring out the best in our campers and
we are confident that this will be the BSE - BEST SUMMER EVER!

With this Handbook, our goal is to help you prepare for the summer and to also stress the
importance of ensuring that each and every person that enters our site is, WITHOUT A DOUBT,
virus-free. This will be our best chance at maintaining a healthy camp community throughout the
season. All members of each family need to be vigilant and do their part to ensure that our campers
and staff enter camp without the Covid-19 virus. Please note that based on the current public health
protocols (at May 25), if one camper is positive, their entire cohort of campers and staff will be sent
home. This is why it is very important for the entire family to properly isolate before the summer. ALL
IT TAKES IS ONE CASE OF COVID-19 TO PUT OUR ENTIRE COMMUNITY AT RISK AND
JEOPARDIZE THE SUMMER FOR ALL OF OUR CAMPERS AND STAFF. Because of this, we ask that
all parents and campers carefully review and follow all of the protocols and directives that are
outlined in this Handbook and contact office@ckb.ca if you have any questions or concerns.

Chazak v’Ematz!
With Strength & Courage!

COVID-19 CONSIDERATIONS
VACCINATION All campers who live in jurisdictions where the vaccine is available to them are
strongly encouraged to vaccinate. While vaccination is not a requirement this season, our health
professionals have made it clear that vaccination, coupled with our stay-at-home isolation period and
a negative PCR test, will protect our campers and significantly increase the chance of not having
anyone with Covid at camp this season.

STAY-AT-HOME ISOLATION PERIOD All campers and their families will participate in a five day stay
at home isolation period prior to their arrival at camp. During the stay-at-home period, campers and
staff will be instructed to restrict contact to members of their household only. While we understand
that other members of the camper’s household may not be able to avoid work or grocery shopping
for 5 days prior to their camper attending camp, we do ask that they pay extra attention to masking,
washing, and hand sanitization during this time and choose to shop for food and other things online.
If it is absolutely necessary for the camper or family member to leave the house during this period of
time (like when they need to leave home to take their PCR test – see below), they are expected to
follow all public health measures including wearing a mask and maintaining social distance from
others.

INTERNATIONAL STAFF AND CAMPERS will be required to follow all government guidelines found
here: https://travel.gc.ca/travel-covid. The isolation period will be required of all international
campers as well.

COVID PCR TEST PRIOR TO CAMP COVID All campers will be required to show proof of a PCR
test taken up to 72 hours prior to their arrival at camp.

Campers from MONTREAL can take their test at all Public Health testing sites. To find a location in
Quebec for your PCR test, please click here and then enter your postal code:
https://cv19quebec.ca/s/?language=en_CA

Campers from the GTA can register for their test here:
https://calendly.com/shoppersdrugmart/camp-biluim-kinneret-pcr-appointments and then show up
on time with their OHIP card to: Shoppers Drug Mart: 1084 Wilson Ave (corner Keele & Wilson).

The test result must be uploaded to your campers’ CampMinder account by midnight on the day
prior to the campers’ arrival at camp. Campers who have not uploaded their negative test result to
CampMinder will not be allowed to board the bus or enter the camp. Campers who test positive will
not be able to join us at camp until they hear from our camps’ Health Team who will determine a
safe way for them to return to camp once they are healthy.

A SECOND PCR TEST will take place on day 5 following the camper’s arrival at camp.
BUBBLE: Our camp will operate in a bubble this season. As such, we have cancelled our Visitor’s Day
and our Rishonim Weekender Program. Unfortunately, this also means that we will not be able to run
any of our trips (Waterslides, Canoe Trips, LIT Trip, etc…) and that intercamp competitions are also
cancelled this season. All of our staff will take their days and nights off in camp. Visitors that are
necessary for the functioning of camp, including doctors, maintenance staff, outside service
providers and contractors, will be required to be vaccinated prior to camp, remain outdoors as much
as possible and must be masked and socially distanced from others while at camp. If it is necessary
for contractors or service providers to enter camp facilities or buildings, those areas will be cleared
of campers and staff for the duration of the service visit.

VIRTUAL VISITOR’S DAY: Campers that are registered with us for the entire 6-week summer will be
afforded the opportunity to communicate with their parents via telephone if they like and this would
take place throughout the week of July 26. Parents will receive an email in mid-July giving them the
opportunity to register for a specific time slot.

DAILY SCREENING At the start of each session, staff and campers will be taught how to self-screen,
what symptoms need to be reported and where they should go if they are experiencing symptoms.
Cabin staff will screen their campers daily at wake up and bedtime. All staff will be trained to be
vigilant in identifying symptoms. Any camper or staff member who is not feeling well will be
assessed at the infirmary.

COVID-19 ASSESSMENT An outdoor assessment centre will be set up on the back porch of the
infirmary where campers/staff experiencing COVID-19 symptoms can be assessed by our medical
team. The nurse will be aware of documented seasonal allergies or pre-existing conditions that are
not COVID-19 related (e.g. chronic runny nose/congestion/migraines) before determining
subsequent assessment, isolation of the individual and/or testing for suspected COVID-19 cases.

IF A CAMPER TESTS POSITIVE FOR COVID-19 the camper will remain isolated on-site in one of
eight loge units that we rented for this season which are outfitted with a bed, sink, toilet and air
conditioning. The campers’ parents will be contacted and asked to pick up their camper as soon as
possible. Campers from Montreal and Ottawa must be picked up within 6 hours while campers from
the GTA are asked to be picked up within 24 hours. Please be sure to have a “COVID-19 plan”
ready before you send your campers to camp for the summer. This means that you, or a family
member/friend will be available to pick them up at any point during the season.

IF A PERSON FROM A COHORT TESTS POSITIVE FOR COVID-19 the parents of the campers in the
COVID-19+ campers’ cohort will be informed that someone in their cohort has tested positive. Due
to privacy laws, the exact identity of the COVID-19+ person will not be shared. The cohort will be
isolated and possibly tested and public health will provide further direction.

WHAT IF THERE IS AN OUTBREAK? An outbreak of COVID-19 will be defined by the local Medical
Officer of Health. Public Health will direct testing and associated management of all those impacted.
Public Health will provide direction to help manage the outbreak and any additional control
measures that will need to be implemented, including defining the outbreak area (i.e. the affected
cohorts or the entire camp community).

COHORT: For the first two weeks of camp, campers and staff members will be in a cohort with the
other members of their age group. Each cohort will consist of two cabins or 24-32 campers and their
staff. As long as they are within this cohort, campers will not need to wear masks or be socially
distanced from each other. Each camper will travel with their cohort together to activities and meals.
Waterfront time and showers will also be scheduled for each cohort. AFTER TWO WEEKS, assuming
all goes well, we should be able to enjoy some of our regular all-camp programming!
SOCIAL DISTANCING & MASKING: While with their cohorts, indoors or outdoors, campers will not
have to remain distanced or masked. Outside of their cohorts, all campers and staff will wear masks
when they are indoors. Masks will only be required outdoors if 6 feet of distance cannot be kept
between cohorts. CAMP WILL PROVIDE DISPOSABLE MASKS FOR ALL OF OUR CAMPERS SO
PLEASE DO NOT PACK ANY MASKS.

CHUGIM (ACTIVITIES): This season our campers will experience a variety of chugim with their
cohorts. When possible (and weather permitting), camp activities will be held outdoors. Each cohort
will be able to experience the waterfront during one or more of their chug periods each day.

SANITISATION: Campers will be reminded to wash their hands upon leaving and entering their
cabins and hand sanitizer will be provided at all activity areas. One staff member per cohort will carry
a backpack at all times that contains hand sanitizer and disinfectant spray or wipes to sanitize activity
tables/equipment before and after use. Sanitizer and all cleaning products are approved by Health
Canada for use against COVID-19.

INFIRMARY: This year we have added an additional nurse and infirmary administrator to our on-site
medical team and our camp doctors will continue to run clinics on a daily basis.

FOOD SERVICE: This season we will serve meals in shifts from our Chadar Ochel (Dining Hall). By
serving meals in shifts, tables will be sufficiently distanced so that campers and staff can travel
between tables and remain appropriately distanced while they eat. As always, all dietary needs and
restrictions will be accommodated.

LAUNDRY is done once each week. Clothing should be colorfast as it is machine laundered and
every item should be well labeled/marked. Labels are available through our website via the
CampMinder login. 20% of the proceeds from the sale of these labels will benefit our Camp Kinneret
Scholarship Fund. All campers will have the opportunity to claim lost and found articles during the
summer and at the end of each camp session. Please refer to our packing list on the last page of this
booklet.

TUCK SHOP & SPENDING MONEY A portion of the camp fee is allocated to cover expenses such as
tuck (treats), the camp t-shirt, the LIT sweatshirt and camp photograph. We will bill you for any
medical expenses (prescriptions) incurred over the course of the summer and send you the receipts
so that you can make a claim with your insurance company. Personal spending money is not
necessary this season as we will not be able to take our campers out of camp.

BIRTHDAYS AT CAMP We are excited to celebrate birthdays at camp! Each camper with a
birthday during the summer camp season will receive a freshly baked cake that is large enough
to share with his or her cabin mates. If you wish to send a gift, please refer to our package
policy. Parents are given the opportunity to speak with their child on their birthday.
Arrangements for this can be made by emailing our office (office@ckb.ca) the day before the
birthday, so that we arrange the time for the call to be made. Usually, the ideal time for this
call is following breakfast at around 9:30am.
MEDICATION – IMPORTANT Our infirmary is fully stocked. Please do not pack standard over
the counter medications like Tylenol and Advil. The only medication campers should bring to
camp are those that are required to manage an existing medical condition. These medications
must be blister packed by your pharmacist and each ‘blister’ must indicate the name of your
camper, the medications being taken, and the date and time of day that the medication
should be administered. The majority of pharmacies will blister pack medications at no cost.
They may require a week or two to prepare the blister packs so please be sure to inquire with
your pharmacist and plan accordingly. Please only send the amount of medication needed for
the summer camp session(s) for which your camper is registered. 1st Session July 6-August 1,
2nd session August 2-17, Full Summer July 6-Aug 17. First session Campers from Montreal are
asked to drop these medications off on July 4 when they drop their bags off at the old Wagar
High School (see ‘Baggage section of this handbook). Campers from outside of Montreal and
second session campers are asked to hand their medication to the designated staff member
upon arrival at camp.

COMMUNICATION
NO CELL PHONES! – Campers can bring a device that plays music as long as they cannot
connect to the internet or play videos or games. If a camper is found in possession of a cell
phone or any device that is capable of doing any of these things, the device will be
confiscated and donated to a local shelter. There will be absolutely no exceptions to this rule.

FIRST TIME CAMPERS will receive a phone call from their campers' unit head within the first
72 hours of the camp session. The purpose of this call is to provide you with an update on
how your camper has adjusted to camp life.

CAMPMINDER When you registered your camper(s), you established a CampMinder LogIn
password. To view photos, and send emails to your camper(s), please use this same password
and use internet browsers CHROME or FIREFOX. To Log In, simply click on the blue
CampMinder Log In button which is found on the top right corner of our website www.ckb.ca.
The system has a security feature that will only allow recognized email addresses to gain
access to the system. If the system does not recognize your email address please let us know
by contacting office@ckb.ca, and we will update your email address in our settings.

SENDING MAIL TO YOUR CAMPER: Campers look forward to receiving news from home and
we urge you to write your campers regularly. We encourage you to write your camper by
email using our CampMinder system. When you enter CampMinder and then click on Camp
InTouch, you will find the email link and the system will guide you through the process of
purchasing “CampStamps” (in US currency) to send emails. Each email will use a certain
number of CampStamps based on the selections you make. We batch print the emails once
each day at 10am from Sunday to Friday and the emails are delivered to our campers right
after lunch. Please provide your camper with stationary and pre-addressed and pre-stamped
envelopes so that it is easy for them to write you back. Campers whose parents live outside of
Quebec or Ontario will be able to have their letters photographed and emailed to their
parents.

PHOTOS are posted daily from Sunday to Friday at 8:00 am in our CampMinder system. The
photo page allows you to mark favorites, view, buy and share photos, as well as view
slideshows. You can click the icons below each photo to perform these actions. All of the
photos you view online are available for purchase as prints, digital downloads, or gift items
such as t-shirts or calendars. All proceeds from the sale of these photos go towards
supporting our camper scholarship fund.

VIDEOS will be posted to our social media channels throughout the summer and available on
our Vimeo page: https://vimeo.com/campkinneretbiluim

GUEST ACCOUNTS: By clicking the “Guest Accounts” icon you will be able to create
accounts for family members and friends so that they can view photos and send emails. If
you’d like your guest to be able to email your child(ren) make sure to check the appropriate
boxes (these will be evident upon entering the guest’s information). After creating each
account your guest will receive an email similar to the one you received when first creating a
password and security questions. They will be guided through the same process in order to
log in securely. You do not need to create guest accounts for parents/guardians of the
child(ren) as that information is already stored in our system.

PACKAGES Campers are not allowed to receive any packages at camp unless your camper is
celebrating a birthday while at camp. Only one package is allowed on your campers’ birthday –
please inform family and friends of this policy. If your camper has forgotten something or has run out
of anything, we are pleased to provide many essential items like toothbrushes, deodorant, and
shampoo at no charge. Other essential items that we may not stock at camp, like clothing, can only
be mailed to camp with the pre-authorization of our office manager. This person can be reached at
office@ckb.ca. Without exception, all unauthorised packages will be returned to sender. Again,
please inform your relatives and friends of this policy.

THE WEEKLY SHPIEL is our Camper Newspaper and it is posted on Facebook each Sunday by 6:00
PM.
REB’S WEEKLY UPDATE is our Assistant Directors’ activity report which we post to social
media and send to you by e-mail each Friday by 6:00 pm.

FACEBOOK/INSTAGRAM: Please be sure to ‘like’ and ‘follow’ us for updates throughout the
summer and especially on ther first and last day of camp as this is how we will be able to
provide you with up to the minute updates regarding bus arrival times.

infirmary, and one for the cabin.
