LAKE DELTON, Wis. (AP) — A summer camp in Lake Delton has closed for two weeks because one of its counselors has a confirmed case of swine flu.

Parents picked up their children at Camp Gray Monday. The camp operator, the Catholic Diocese of Madison, says it will reopen July 5.

Diocese spokesman Brent King says they decided to go beyond the recommended seven-day quarantine so the counselor could return safely without any chance of infecting campers.

The state Department of Health Services says the total number of H1N1 flu cases rose to nearly 4,300 this week, up from about 3,400 a week ago.
