FCA's COVID-19 Plan for Events

​Last Updated on 5/13/2020

All Events

  • Meet with site personnel to review their COVID 19 Plan and guidelines.
  • Order hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol, disinfectant wipes, and disposable face masks. Have hand sanitizer in every building, field, and court.  Please make sure these are available for all participants.
  • Routinely clean and disinfect surfaces and objects that are frequently touched.
  • Provide facilities and opportunities for participants to wash their hands often.
  • Maintain social distancing at group gatherings, at least six feet between participants.
  • Identify a space to use to isolate staff or participants who become ill at the event.
  • Handshakes and “high-fives” can be ways in which COVID-19 is transmitted from person to person. As a way of decreasing the social pressure to engage in these common behaviors, consider displaying signs that discourage these actions during the gathering.
  • Participants should bring their own water bottles and no sharing of any hydration systems.

Day Camps/Clinics

  • All parents receive a copy of “Camp Communication for Parents.”
  • Trainers or medical personnel take temperatures at check-in each day; anyone with a fever should be isolated from the group, and arrangements are made for them to return home.
  • Keep huddles to less than ten campers.
  • Order hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol, disinfectant wipes, and disposable facemasks. Have hand sanitizer in every building, field, and court.
  • Campers and staff use hand sanitizer upon entering and leaving buildings, courts, and fields.
  • Maintain social distancing guidelines at a group gathering. Arrange seats at least six feet apart.

Golf Tournaments

  • One player per cart (unless staff are able to provide official course documentation from their local community and the host golf course the two golfers per cart is permitted).
  • Only boxed meals.
  • All events outside.
  • Maintain social distancing.
  • Flag sticks stay in place-no one touches the stick.
  • Only the player touches their ball and equipment.
  • Give each player hand sanitizer.
  • Have disposable wipes on each tee.

Camp Communication for Parents

Working with Facilities

FCA will coordinate with the campsites to make sure they have a plan in place to clean and disinfect rooms and other public spaces and other special provisions for hosting groups.

Partnering with Parents

We know that you want the best for your child, and we want them to have the best experience possible at FCA Camp. That’s why we ask that any parent whose child has had a fever or illness within 72 hours to stay home.

Registration and Check-in

FCA Camps will utilize infrared thermometers for scanning every incoming camper for fever. If a camper has an elevated temperature, they are sensitively guided to our medical personnel for further evaluation away from other campers and staff.

Camp Medical Personnel

FCA has certified trainers and other licensed medical staff at camp. These medical teams are continually monitoring the health of our campers and acting quickly to identify, contain, and treat any injury or illnesses that may appear.

Staff and Camper Training

All our staff serving at camp will be trained on FCA’s COVID 19 Plan to include: proper handwashing procedures, social distancing guidelines, and procedures to report any illness. Each huddle leader will review appropriate handwashing procedures with campers.

Constant Sanitation Protocol

Each huddle, meeting room, field, and court is equipped with handwashing facilities, hand sanitizer, and disinfectant wipes. Our staff will emphasize regular handwashing with all campers. Campers and staff will use hand sanitizer upon entering and leaving rooms and buildings.

Limiting Exposure

If a camper or staff person develops symptoms of COVID 19 at camp, FCA will separate them from others as soon as possible until they can go home and provide them with a clean, disposable facemask to wear.

COVID-19 Incident Form

In the event of being notified of a participant testing positive for COVID, all participants will be notified and staff must fill out the COVD-19 Incident Form found here: http://links.fca.org/covidincident
