CLICK HERE FOR A MESSAGE FROM LINDA S. PAULK, PRESIDENT AND CEO
We are aware of the threat of H1N1 and Influenza A flu in Texas and are asking our guests to take the following precautions to aid in the prevention of this and other contagious illnesses.
- If a member of your group is exhibiting flu like symptoms, please do not allow them to come to camp as they are probably contagious at least 24 hours prior to onset of full symptoms appearing according to the CDC.
- Prior to your group's arrival at camp, please instruct your group in healthy hygiene techniques as proper hand washing is essential in preventing the spread of illnesses. Wash hands often and especially before meals.
- If necessary, teach your group participants healthy cough and sneezing techniques. Please try to sneeze or cough into your arm or sleeve, instead of your hands. Flu is spread through droplets.
- If any one in your group is exhibiting any of the following symptoms while at Sky Ranch, have them see your group's appointed medical person as early detection and separation may help in preventing others from becoming ill as well. Some flu like symptoms include: fever, headache, cough, body aches, vomiting and/or diarrhea.
- Please let us know if someone from your group does become ill while at camp, as Sky Ranch has infectious illness policies and procedures that are put into effect anytime we have multiple guests or staff with similar symptoms. All cabins, lodges and the dining hall are disinfected after every group departs but please inform your Sky Ranch coordinator should your group send an ill camper home early so that we may disinfect your cabin once the ill person(s) has left for home.
Our goal is for you to have an amazing experience here at Sky Ranch and following these simple guidelines may help you avoid getting sick. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact our Health Care Administrator at 903-266-3314.
