Health & COVID Protocols at Camp


At West End House Girls Camp, the health and safety of our campers, staff, and families remain a top priority. We are committed to creating a safe and nurturing environment where everyone can thrive.

Before Arrival

We encourage all campers, both children and adults, to test for COVID-19 before arriving at camp. While testing is not mandatory, it is a helpful tool in protecting the health of our full community.

If your camper is feeling unwell for any reason, or if anyone in your household has had a known exposure to a contagious illness (including COVID-19, flu, strep, RSV, etc.) within a few days of the session start:

  • Please contact our camp nurse.

  • We will work with you to reschedule your camper’s arrival once they are cleared and safe to join the community.

  • In some cases, a short delay in arrival helps prevent the spread of illness and supports a smooth and healthy transition into camp life.

If a Camper Becomes Sick at Camp

If a camper shows symptoms of a contagious illness while at camp:

Our nurse will assess your camper, and parents/guardians will be contacted with updated information. If it is determined that your camper needs to be picked up, parents/guardians will be required to pick them up within 24 hours.

If it is determined that your camper can remain at camp, they will be comfortably isolated from the camp community and cared for by our medical staff. Our wellness center includes dedicated camper rooms designed to help campers rest, relax, and recover while healing. This is also the space where campers will wait comfortably for parents/guardians to arrive for pickup, if needed.

We appreciate your partnership and shared responsibility in keeping camp safe and healthy for everyone. Please reach out to us with any questions or to speak directly with our nurse at 207-625-8221 or via email at Clinic@wehgirlscamp.org.

Together, we can create a joyful, healthy summer for all.
