GRANBY - Camp Chief Ouray has canceled next week's summer camp for 260 youngsters after 85 children came down with norovirus-caused stomach flu this week and last.

"Eighty-five have had vomiting or diarrhea," Alicia Cronquist, foodborne disease coordinator for the state health department, said Friday. Other symptoms can include a low-grade fever, abdominal cramps, nausea, headaches and body aches.

The children typically felt very sick for two hours, but after about six hours wanted to return to activities, said Laurie Van Horn, spokeswoman for Camp Chief Ouray.

"We kept them an additional 12 hours" at the camp's health center, she said.

The Peaceful Valley Boy Scout Camp re-opened Monday after being sanitized by camp staff.

The camp in Elbert County was closed a week ago when more than 100-scouts and staff got sick. Rescue workers from around the area were called to help.

The Colorado Department of health gave the camp a clean bill of health after a thorough inspection.

The department of health continues its investigation, but says there could be several sources of the norovirus.
