Covid-19 Online Screening Form

To reduce screening time in the field, you can complete a Covid-19 screening form at home on the day of program and bring proof of submission with you to the field! Remember – upon submitting the form, a confirmation email will be sent to the email you’ve provided. PLEASE BRING THIS CONFIRMATION EMAIL WITH YOU (ELECTRONIC OR PRINTED) TO PROGRAM FOR DROP OFF. Staff will confirm the date that the confirmation email was sent at drop-off (screening must be done the day of program). Any participants who arrive to program without a screening confirmation email will be screened on site upon arrival.

COVID-19 FAQs

We will continue to adapt our procedures to evolving public health guidelines to keep everyone safe. Our current plans include:

  • Daily screenings – Screening questions will reflect public health guidance at the time of camp. Currently, our screening questions are in accordance with TPH’s Student Screening.
  • Encouraging physical distancing,
  • Small group sizes,
  • Enhanced hygiene and sanitation.

Please see the appropriate Caregiver Handbook(s) above for further details.

*Please note that our policies and procedures, including masking, will continue to evolve to adhere to provincial and municipal public health guidelines.

If we are required to cancel program for any period of time due to government mandate, public health recommendations or other Covid-related circumstances, families will receive a full pro-refund per cancelled session. Please see our full cancellation policy for more information.
