E. coli outbreak prompts camper exodus at PA sleepaway camp as parents vacation in Europe
A GI outbreak at Tyler Hill Camp in Pennsylvania includes a confirmed E. coli case; camp officials say the strain is not linked to camp food or water and that the vast majority of campers and staff are fine, with only a single confirmed case and some campers sent home due to capacity concerns. Alums allege some campers had nowhere to stay because parents were abroad in Europe, though camp officials deny this. The Pennsylvania Department of Health is aware and involved, and the camp says it has increased cleaning, moved meals outdoors, and maintains water testing as questions about outbreak management linger.
