Programs will have planned outdoor meeting/gathering locations, and will be done in accordance with current social distancing practices of a 6 ft. minimum.

Staff will wear a face mask when closer than 6 ft. and participants will be required to as well. In the event of providing assistance we cannot guarantee face masks will stay on.

Activity equipment will not be shared among participants and staff. Paddles, PFDs, and kayaks will be used by one individual for the entirety of the duration of the programs.

All equipment will be carefully cleaned, sanitized, and logged after each day of use.

All participants will understand and acknowledge the need for close person to person contact in a water-related emergency.
