"They need to be aware of H1N1 influenza, that we've had three outbreaks to date and there's the possibility we could have others," he said.

Parents can help by making sure they aren't sending sick children to camp, Gardner said.

Those symptoms include fever, cough, sore throats or a general sense of malaise. "If that's happening within seven days of them coming to a camp, they should not go," he said.
