Here's one big standing ovation for all of our Pine Cove families that donated soccer cleats last summer through Tacos for Ticos.

At this time, we are sure that many of you are aware of the wildfire that was burning in the Columbus area. Pine Cove staff are working closely with Colorado County fire officials to monitor this situation as it relates to the safety of our campers.
We are in contact with the Colorado County Sheriff's office and they are telling us that the fire, located about 25 minutes from Outback, is now under control. You can read more about this fire on KHOU's website.
This fire has not impacted camp activities at all. Currently, everything is running as planned and campers are having a great time.
We will continue to update Outback and Down Under Day Camp parents as more information becomes available. If you have any questions in the meantime, please contact Reed Livesay, Senior Director of Columbus Camps, at rlivesay@pinecove.com.
As you are probably aware, we suspended camp a few days early at our Towers Youth Camp during week 4 because of widespread illness among our campers. Some of the campers have been diagnosed with having a common stomach bug, others have tested positive for seasonal Type A Influenza and some families have informed us that their physician has notified them that their child has tested positive for Swine Flu, also known as H1N1.
Regarding Novel H1N1, we have no confirmed reports at this time from the Department of Public Health Services; however since we have had many week 4 camper parents tell us that their child’s physician has confirmed the H1N1 flu, we are operating as if this is true.
For more information, read Mario's Letter.
If your child has been sick we are asking that you not send them to camp until they have been symptom free for at least 24 hours. For more information on preventing the spread of illness, please watch the video below of Dr. Scott Lawrence, Pine Cove’s medical director. If you have any questions or concerns, please call us at 877-474-6326.

Under the supervision of our Medical Director, Dr. Scott Lawrence, Pine Cove has monitored the current Influenza status with the CDC and local health care providers.
