Health Policy Updates

Overnight Camp Policy-updated 04/09/25

We continue to believe in vaccinations as a part of a broad strategy to keep kids healthy at camp. If a government agency imposes a vaccine requirement for camp attendance, or our own medical team makes a decision to require a specific vaccine, or if an outbreak occurs and your camper is on property and isn’t fully vaccinated against that illness, your camper must be picked up immediately. In such cases, you will not be eligible for any credits or refunds.

We urge you to make sure that you have sufficient insurance to cover cancellation fees in this circumstance. We want kids to experience camp and also for your investment to be protected!

Please note our emergency pickup policy. If a camper needs to leave camp early:

• Campers would be collected from camp within 2-3 hours if you live in the Bay Area
• Within 6-12 hours if you live a significant distance but within California
• Within 12-18 hours if you live out of state.
• Within 24 hours if you live outside of the United States

If you plan to be out of town for your campers stay at Kennolyn, please make sure you advise your emergency contacts in advance so that they are aware of this policy. We recognize this policy cannot always be met as there are many factors. What we ask is that you be aware of the policy and work with us in the unlikely event that your camper needs to leave camp early.

We do not plan to require COVID-19 testing, but reserve the right to revert to the following policy at any time.

We continue to stay up to date with requirements and recommendations from the CDC, CDPH, CalOSHA, the County of Santa Cruz, and the American Camp Association.
