In The News at Fraser Lake Camp

H1N1 Flu Virus (Human Swine Flu)
Posted 17 July 2009

Due to all the recent media attention focused on the H1N1 virus, we at Glenbrook Day Camp and Fraser Lake Camp, wanted to reassure our families that we are monitoring the situation closely and have had no cases at camp to date that we are aware of.

We continue to promote hand washing procedures and we have implemented a number of hand sanitizing stations throughout the camp site.

Your child's safety is our number one concern and you can assist us in keeping camp safe for everyone. We are including a chart of symptoms below to help you to distinguish between the flu and a bad cold. We are also asking parents to keep their children home if they are experiencing symptoms to ensure the safety of everyone.
