PATHFINDER COVID HEADLINES
Pathfinder managed the challenges of a Covid-adaptive Summer in 2021 and 2022.
Here's how the second season adapted to the Covid challenge.
ONTARIO HEADLINES
Pathfinder navigated the pandemic summers using Ontario Health guidance and a team of doctors, public health advisors and camp owner colleagues.
Camps were closed in 2020, open to Canadian boys with special measures in 2021, and fully open again at last in 2022. Pathfinder had very successful seasons in '21 and '22, and we're raring to go with our own measures in '23.
With the tremendous advantage of widespread vaccination and boosting, Camp will use vaccination of our kids and staff as one part of another smart layered mitigation Pathfinder Covid Plan for summer. And, we will continue to set our policies in concert with Ontario's Ministry of Health.
We will all be living with Covid for the future, and bringing it more under control, going ahead with daily life as much as possible. Camp's role in a return to more normal experiences for our kids is of paramount importance to their well-being. The summer months - and specifically children's camps - remain a Go!
Pathfinder will be ready.
OUR COVID PLAN
The Pathfinder plan for Summer 2023 will include the successful steps of layered mitigation from this past summer, along with vaccination of our Staff and Campers. The single compelling reason for a multi-layered approach is our identity: a congregate living setting and rustic out-trip program, committed to protecting our members from the risk of serious illness or transmission back home.
Our US and overseas campers will join us again, and our Staff and Campers will be expected to arrive with full vaccination, meaning two doses of an approved vaccine with one or more booster doses highly recommended. Continued pre-camp screening / testing routines will combine with some limited cohorting and monitoring measures at camp all season. Pathfinder plans always incorporate expert advice and partnership with our medical directors, health advisors, Ontario Health, and the Ontario Camps Association.
WHERE WE STAND TODAY
In a phrase, our traditional Pathfinder season is back for 2023! We can't wait for everyone's return to CPI.
Winter persists in the Park, but already we see the spring signs: longer daylight hours, higher temps in the afternoons, more sunshine over the snow-covered lake country. When will the ice break up on Source Lake? With COVID, while families remain vigilant, a bright spot is the full-speed-ahead planning for Pathfinder's upcoming 110th season. We invite all our families to join in!
Camp enrollment will be full this year. Camper and Staff recruitment is winding up. We're signing up our friends for two summer Family Camps.
We'll continue to monitor health news regarding variants of concern and public health guidance. Fortunately, we are no longer challenged by border policies. While camp will require screening and testing before arrival for a summer session, there is no current Canada-US border requirement for testing or other measures.
