Thanks for good conversation. I suspect this is something we will continue to see at camp as the COVID impact continues. This may be a good time to pursue getting health forms in hand well before camp, so on opening day there are no (or fewer) surprises.
Consider the resource through the ACA Healthy Camp Toolbox to help guide your MESH discussion with parents: “Assessment of a Camper’s Behavior of Concern” The first part is about assessing whether a camper is ready for camp, but scroll down to the bottom for the part relevant to behavior at camp.
