If your camper is not feeling well, please keep them home to rest and recover. Days at camp are busy and active. Deposits will be refunded for those who must cancel their week because of illness. As always, we are happy to work with families to reschedule for a later week in the season (if openings are available), if the originally scheduled week doesn’t work out. Contact our Registrar, Jessica, at Registrar@NLOM.org or 402-944-2544 with questions or to reschedule.

Meals will be served outdoors as much as possible this summer. When the weather is too hot or wet, meals will be moved into the dining halls. This decision is made on a meal-by-meal basis by camp leadership.

We encourage all campers consider their camp experience as time set apart from the rest of their summer to fully-engage in the community that's created at camp. Therefore, we discourage campers leaving and returning during their camp session.

In the case of an outbreak or increased community spread, we will follow the recommendations of the Sarpy/Cass Health Department. We are also in consultation with multiple local physicians who serve on and consult with the NLOM Board of Directors. The NLOM Board of Directors in consultation with these health experts, will determine if adjustments to the schedule are needed.

We will follow the recommendations of the Sarpy/Cass Health Department. If necessary, the NLOM Board of Directors will make changes to the 2022 Summer Camp schedule on a week-by-week basis.

During the course of their camp session, campers will be interacting with other campers across age groups and sites. All-camp activities have resumed for the 2022 summer camp season.

Official contact tracing will take place through the Sarpy/Cass Health Department. If we are made aware of a possible exposure at camp, we will contact the camper families affected via email. Please make sure your email address is up-to-date when registering your camper. If your camper is not fully vaccinated for COVID-19, they should quarantine per the CDC’s guidelines. Unfortunately, this means if your camper is not vaccinated they will need to be picked up early from camp if in close contact with someone who tests positive for COVID-19. If your camper is up to date on their COVID-19 vaccinations, they would be able to finish their week of camp. They’ll wear a mask and self-monitor for symptoms.

If a camper, staff member, or guest begins showing symptoms while at Carol Joy Holling Camp, they should notify their village leader or a member of the health care team immediately. A separate area has been designated for campers or staff members showing symptoms of COVID-19. Nebraska Lutheran Outdoor Ministries employs a registered nurse to supervise all summer camp healthcare. Healthcare team members will assess the camper/staff member/guest and contact their parent, guardian, or emergency contact if necessary. If needed, parents, guardians, or emergency contacts should pick up their sick camper/staff member/guest within a reasonable amount of time (1-2 hours) from contact with the NLOM health care team. Official contact tracing will take place through the Sarpy/Cass Health Department.
