Gardner said the district is also having all camps tell all parents in writing that "this is an unusual year" -- referring to the outbreak of H1N1, which the World Health Organization has declared a pandemic.

"Do not send your children to camp if they have any influenza-like illness," he said.

Gardner said the district thought there could be some outbreaks at camps this summer, given that some cases had occurred in schools.

国内已经叫停夏令营活动了。这边还只说家长应该负责，别把生病的孩子送去。可是，这不是还有潜伏期吗？不是还有无症状感染者么？
