Onsite Summer Camp FAQ

---

Challenge School is consistently keeping up to date with CDC, Health Department, and Licensing regulations/guidelines. Onsite Camp will follow San Mateo Health County order guidelines, i.e., operating the camp as stable groups. 

Please read Challenge School Covid Policy carefully before you sign up for our in-person summer camp. 

Per San Mateo Shelter-in-Place FAQ, we will operate our onsite camp as 1-2 stable groups.  Each stable group will have 12 children or less and its own set of teachers, space, and supplies for 8 consecutive weeks.  Please see below section.

We will operate the camp as 2 consecutive weeks sessions per SM SIP order.  Children are not allowed to simultaneously attend two different camps and cannot switch camps during the 2 weeks session.   Our onsite camp sessions are as the following:

• Onsite Session 1 (6/21-7/2)
• No camp ( 7/5-7/16)  
• Onsite Session 2 (7/12-7/23) 
• Onsite Session 3 (7/26-8/6) 
• Onsite Session 4 (8/9-8/20)

Challenge School will follow CDC cleaning and dis-infecting guidelines.  We have also conducted safety and cleaning trainings for our staff and our janitor.   All of our onsite staff will be wearing masks during camp.  

Our camp hours are 9a.m.-5p.m.  Parents are required to come ONLY during dropoff and pickup hours. 

Visitors are not allowed during any other time. Parents are also required to wear masks and adhere to the 6 feet of social distancing.

Parents will need to fill out a Health check questionnaire for their child every morning before check in.  We will check each child's temperature during the day and will watch children for overall wellness.
