clinics. Crossways does not carry medical coverage for campers

requests and any mobility concerns.
-
Waypost Camp - Crafting and lodging
facilities are located in the SAME building at
Waypost. We limit registrations for crafting
retreats to allow for ample space for projects and
for each participant to have a bottom bunk bed. To
maximize housing and to accommodate specific
requests/special needs, it may be possible that
guests could be contacted to see if sleeping in a
top bunk would be possible and would only happen
after consulting the registrant directly.
-
Imago Dei Village - Crafting facilities are
located in our Woodlands Center. All participants
will be housed in the Woodlands Center or the
chalets of Imago Dei Village. Each unit includes a
double bed and 2-4 sets of bunk beds with a bathroom

LEADER INFORMATION
For quilting and scrapbooking retreats, a resource
leader will be available to answer your questions and
offer advice! They may also lead mini-workshops, have
basic supplies and product available for you to
purchase, or have an optional project to make during the
weekend. If there is anything you need to know prior to
your retreat, it will be on the welcome letter that you
receive upon registration or we will contact you
directly. As a courtesy to our program, if you are a
consultant, please refrain from bringing product to
sell.
Check the welcome letter
for information pertaining to your specific retreat.
How is Crossways responding to H1N1
concerns?
We are aware of the threat of H1N1 and Influenza A flu and are
asking our guests to take the following precautions to aid in
the prevention of this and other contagious illnesses.
Each retreat
participant (and present parent) will be asked if they
have a fever, a sore throat or a cough. They will also be asked
if they’ve been exposed to someone with these symptoms. If
anyone answers "yes" to fever AND one or two of the other
symptoms we will ask that the child stay at home because of an
influenza-like illness.
If anyone in your family has a fever and a sore throat or cough
we recommend that your camper does not attend camp. Please call
our office to discuss cancellation and look into any
alternatives available.
Specifically for
Groups
-
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 camp, have them see one of our retreat staff 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 we have 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 our staff should a member of your
group become ill or is sent home early so that we may
disinfect your cabin once the ill person(s) has left for
home.
Our goal is for you
all participants to have an amazing experience at Crossways and
following these simple guidelines may help you avoid getting
sick. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact our
Appleton Office at 920-882-0023 or the camp you will be
attending.

What
about food allergies or other special medical needs?
All campers are fed balanced meals and a
salad bar and sandwiches are
available at almost every meal.
With food allergies are on the rise our food service
staff are very familiar with many food allergies. If the
registrant is allergic to peanuts, allergic to milk or is a vegetarian please
clearly note that on the registration form. If there are other
allergies please call the camp 1-2 weeks before their
time at
camp to discuss particular needs.
