● Fever is a temporary increase in the body’s temperature in response to some disease or illness. In accordance with Dwight’s policy, we identify fever when a person’s temperature is found to be at or above one of these levels:
○ 99.4℉ (37.4℃) measured by non-contact thermometer or thermal scanner
○ 100.0℉ (37.8℃) measured by a mouth or ear thermometer
● Camper’s will not be allowed to board the bus if they are found to have a fever of 99.4℉ (37.4℃) or above, measured by non-contact thermometer.
○ If a temperature reading of 99.4℉ (37.4℃) or above is disputed by the parent/caregiver, one additional check may be attempted by the bus chaperone at the bus stop. If the second reading is below 99.4℉ (37.4℃), the Camper will be allowed to board the bus and he/she will be escorted to the Camp Nurses Office immediately upon arrival to camp for assessment. If the camper is found to have a fever of 100.0℉ (37.8℃) or above measured by a mouth or ear thermometer upon arrival or during camp, he/she must be picked up by an emergency contact person from the Camp Health Office within one hour.
● Temperatures of all passengers will be recorded and kept on file.
