Safety Expectations

Child safety is our #1 Priority. In order to maintain a safe environment for all members and staff, the following safety expectations are required of anyone attending Winter Break.

• Masks are required to be worn prior to entering the building and during any activity where proper social distancing cannot be maintained.
• If your child or someone in your household has tested positive for COVID-19, or they have come within close contact of someone who has, they are not permitted to attend the Club until proper quarantine has taken place. (You must notify us if any of these examples have taken place so that we may take the necessary steps to protect our staff and club members)
• If your child is sick, or is experiencing a fever, they are not permitted to attend the Club until symptoms are no longer being experienced.
• If your child contributes to or participates in physical activity that causes or could cause harm to other members, staff, or Club property, they will not be allowed to attend any further days of Winter Break, and if currently at the Club will need to have accommodations made to be picked up immediately.
