SILVER LAKE, Wis. - A summer camp operated
by the Salvation Army in southeastern Wisconsin
has shut down temporarily because of flu cases,
including one confirmed as swine flu.
Camp
Wonderland director John Welch said Friday that
190 campers of ages 8 to 12 were sent home
Wednesday after starting the weeklong visit on
Monday. The camp will be closed until July 13
while being disinfected.
Welch said the illness of a counselor was
confirmed late Thursday as the H1N1 virus, or
swine flu. Results for another counselor aren't
yet in.
He said the counselors may have contracted
the flu from youngsters at camp the previous
week.
The camp worked with county health officials
in deciding what action to take.
