Camp Good News Now Offering Irony Classes As Well As Camping

LIVERMORE FALLS — Roughly 100 children were sent home Tuesday night when more than two dozen people became sick after dinnertime at Camp Good News. State officials said 25 children and staff experienced nausea, vomiting and diarrhea 2 1/2 hours after eating dinner at the summer camp on Schoolhouse Pond. There were approximately 100 campers and 80 staff at the camp at the time, according to a state official. Once the illnesses became apparent, camp leaders began calling parents to pick up their children. The camp was closed immediately and had not been reopened as of Friday night, according to John A. Martins, director of public and employee communications at the Maine Department of Health and Human Services. He said state licensing officials and epidemiologists were sent to Livermore Falls to examine the facility where violations were found in and around the camp. (read more at LewistonSunJournal)
