To ensure the safety of children, families, and staff during the COVID-19 pandemic, precollege and youth activities will monitor the evolving circumstances and lean on the expertise, guidance, and recommendations from the University of Wisconsin-System, Public Health Madison and Dane County (PHMDC), and the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture Trade and Consumer Protection (DATCP). Programs will also monitor information provided by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and other federal, state, and county agencies. These resources are the foundation for these policies:
- DATCP Guidance for Recreational and Educational Camps during the Covid-19 Pandemic
- American Camp Association Camp Guidance during the Covid-19 Pandemic
- General CDC Guidance
- WEDC Employer Guidance (Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation)
- COVID-19 Infection Control Checklist for K-12 Schools
- Division of Child and Family Services Guidance for Day Camps
- Public Health of Dane County Guidance as of 7/15/2020 for K-12
- Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction – Operating Schools during a Pandemic
