Why are visitors or day visits not allowed?
- In order to provide this opportunity safely to our Families we had to identify risks and eliminate as many as possible. Having an open camp to Day Visits or Visitors exposes our camp, staff and other families and increases the number of people we have on site at one time. Please plan to come and remain at the camp for the duration of your reservation, unless there is an emergency.
What if someone at camp becomes sick or later gets the virus? We ask anyone that becomes sick to leave the camp immediately and close the camp for cleaning. We will close the camp after a connection to a person with a presumed or confirmed case of COVID-19. If you are diagnosed after visiting one of our properties, please call the Alamo Area Council to let us know. 210-341-8611, Rentals@alamoareabsa.org
