None of them were hospitalized, and all of them have since recovered.

A news release from the camp said the session in which campers became ill ended Thursday as was regularly scheduled. The camp said efforts were made to clean and disinfect the camp before the next session began.

Also this week, a 9-year-old camper and 20-year-old staff member at Camp Sabra in the Lake of the Ozarks tested positive for swine flu.
