Dr. Charles Gardner, the district's chief medical officer of health, told ctvtoronto.ca on Wednesday that the district isn't saying which three camps are involved.

The number of infected represents almost one in five campers and almost one in seven camp staffers at the affected camps.

The cases developed in the past week. All are considered mild, meaning no one required hospitalization, Gardner said.

"The camps are working very closely with the health unit to implement what we call control measures," he said.

Most of the infected campers have been sent home to recover.  Those who can't be sent home for whatever reason are in quarantine.

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

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

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

However, normally the district is usually more focused on working with camps to prevent outbreaks of gastroenteric diseases and on injury prevention, he said.
