We will always try and sail every day during camp but know the weather doesn’t always cooperate. In the case of severe inclement weather your instructor will text you instructions whether it be about an early dismissal, late start, or canceled day entirely. Please plan to monitor your phone and be able to respond to potential inclement weather texts in a timely manner. We do not have access to indoor facilities that can safely manage groups of campers amidst the pandemic.
- Maintaining safe social distancing protocols
- Requiring that all participants and staff wear cloth masks on shore at all times. CSC face maks/buffs are available for purchase online or during check-in
- Becuase masks cannot be worn on the water as they are a drowning hazard, we have shifted any programs that require more than 1 person per boat to have participants sign up in pairs with siblings or cohort-based friends. This is the only way we can safely have sailors together in small boats without increasing COVID exposure risk.
- Pairs of children in camps will remain socially distant from any other pairings at all times both on and off the water.
- Requiring that parents remain in their car at all times for pick up and drop off.
- Instilling frequent use of hand sanitizer
- Asking general health screening questions upon arrival and will have the ability to take temperatures
- Enhanced cleaning of boats and gear after each use
- Assigning individuals (or same-household groups) to one boat, with accompanying equipment to be used for the duration of the camp or class
- Encourage the use of personal PFD’s and helmets. Each participant will use the same PFD and helmet during camps
- Full daily credit will be refunded to any student that stays home sick
- Group sizes will be limited to reflect the most updated recommendations and guidelines.
- To limit potential exposure during lunch and onshore time classes will have assigned staggered times and locations
- Requiring that staff and participants who demonstrate any COVID-19 related symptoms remain at home
- Junior Volunteers will be assigned to a specific group each week and interaction with other groups will be minimized.
- Require that all participants bring enough water for the duration of the day to prevent the need for refilling water bottles. This will significantly decrease a “frequently touched surface” hotspot.
