To drop campers off each morning, parents and guardians will first fill out our screening questions on their phone here. Vehicles will line up for the drop-off area where they’ll be met by an attendant. The first attendant will check kids’ temperatures with a touchless thermometer, then confirm the screening questions have been logged. The second attendant will check the camper in. A counselor from the camper’s group will help the camper sanitize their hands before escorting them into the building.

• Within groups, our staff members will stay with a group all day as their dedicated camp counselors. This includes all activities, sports, games, snacks, and lunch. Staff assigned to a group will be with that group all week long.
  
• We’ll be practicing 6-foot physical distancing during activities like meals, craft projects, and reading. Campers will learn about physical distancing, handwashing, and other important practices in age-appropriate ways.
  
• During physical exertion, we’ll be modeling and practicing 10-foot physical distancing to the greatest degree possible. We are working hard to strike a careful and reasonable balance, allowing kids to run and play while still being as cautious as we can.
  
• Our air-supported building is different than most indoor facilities: by its very nature, it’s constantly circulating 10 million cubic feet of fresh air, drawn in through the intakes and pushed out the exhaust vents. 

• We’re providing matching art supplies to every camper, stored in their own enclosed cubby (large plastic tote). Each camper has their own materials to the greatest extent possible.
  
• We sanitize shared camp materials, including games and supplies, in between each camper or each hour, whichever is more frequent.
  
• Our amazing staff is what makes our camp the best, and they’re extensively trained: in addition to the first aid, CPR, AED, concussion awareness, Dome building safety & operation, and Dome Summer Camp operations training they’ve always received, they’ve been trained on our COVID-19 Mitigation Plan.
  
• Our staff will be wearing cloth face coverings all day long, and campers are required to wear masks as well.
  
• We clean and disinfect frequently touched surfaces on an hourly basis in compliance with CDC protocols.
  
• Staff wash their hands frequently using soap and hot water. We also use hand sanitizer in moments when the soap and water aren’t close enough (it’s a huge facility!)
  
• All campers will be washing or sanitizing their hands frequently. We’ve always included routine handwashing as part of campers’ responsibilities, but returning campers will notice we’ve increased the frequency. We’re providing hand sanitizer throughout the facility for times when soap and water aren’t nearby. Campers will be washing or sanitizing their hands when they enter the facility, before and after each activity, and at a minimum, every hour.
  
• Staff members who need to visit multiple groups (such as camp administrators) will wash their hands between interactions and disinfect any common items or spaces.
  
• Staff are screened before every shift through a series of questions about their travel and symptoms. Any employee experiencing symptoms including fever within the last 72 hours, or who has traveled outside Alaska within the previous 14 days, will not be allowed to work.
  
• We’ll be screening every camper daily upon arrival before they enter The Dome. We’ve developed a custom screening webpage which adults will fill out each day before dropping off their camper. We’ll be using touchless thermometers to check every camper’s temperature as they enter.
  
• You can download and read our entire Summer Camp COVID-19 Mitigation Plan here.

• Every week, campers will get to drive on our incredible new remote control car obstacle course! We’re moving the course each day so every groups gets a day of RC each week.
  
• Campers will be playing Laser Tag on our state-of-the-art course every week! Our equipment can operate anywhere in the facility, so we’ll bring the fun to each group one day each week.
  
• Sports and games which don’t require touching have a big green light! We’re going to be running around almost all day, every day!
  
• When it’s nice outside, we’ll be out there as much as possible! Everything from sidewalk drawing to jump rope is available. We’ve got new tents so campers can get some shade in between games.
  
• Our arts & crafts are going to be as fun as ever! We’ve equipped every camper with their own art supplies, including colored pencils and Perler beads.
  
• Games are still happening every day! In our popular bingo matches, campers can win real prizes to take home. How does a big LEGO set sound?

For pick-up, adults will park in our airport-style “cell phone waiting lot” and send a text message to our camp phone. After receiving a text that their camper is ready for pick-up, the adults will drive to the pick-up area to show their ID and check their camper out. A staff member will escort the camper to the vehicle.
