General Information
COVID-19 Information
PROGRAMS & COVID-19
Knowing that programming won’t be the same as in the past, we are committed to providing the best experience possible for
everyone. We understand some of these changes may feel uncomfortable, but they have all been made in order to keep participants
and staff safe. As COVID-19 regulations may change, please check our website for updated information.
• All participants 2 years and older are required to wear a mask when in common areas of the buildings. Once they reach their
program and are safely socially distanced they can remove their mask.
• Anyone over the age of 2 in the building solely as a spectator must wear a mask the entire time.
• COVID-19 SCREENING PROCESS AT CWCC & GSCC
Concord Parks & Recreation has new COVID-19 screening kiosks at the City-Wide Community Center and Green Street
Community Center in the front vestibules for all visitors and staff to complete upon entering the facility.
- This new technology is a touchless mobile application that will provide a risk assessment to ensure COVID-19 guideline
compliance and if needed to help with contact tracing. It's quick and easy to use.
- Simply visit https://concordrec.icovidscreen.com/visitor via your smart phone prior to arriving for your program or class. After
you complete the information a QR code will be generated for you.
- The QR code is time sensitive and will expire after the end of the day (at midnight). Once the code has been scanned, use the
hands-free thermometer to take your temperature on your forehead or wrist.
- Access to the community centers will be granted after successful completion of this screening. We will still have staff onsite
during the check in process for our classes and renters will still be required to do the same for their participants.
- Everyone enter either community center will be required to be screened and have their temperature taken at the kiosk in the
front entrance lobby. All visitors will be logged. Paper forms will be made available as a backup if there are any issues with the
kiosk or if a visitor does not have access to a phone.

Animal Tracking Program NEW!
Instructor: Madeline Champlin
You might be surprised to learn that many animals in NH stay active during these cold winter months. Snow creates a great canvas to start
looking at and identifying animal tracks. Let’s meet at Winant Park Trail to learn about animal tracks and see which animals are out and about
in the woods. Be sure to dress warmly, bring your own snowshoes (weather permitting), and wear a mask. We will be outside for the entire
program.

Winter Bird Walks
Instructor: Madeline Champlin
Winter time is a great time to get familiar with some of NH’s birds. Many birds migrate
for the winter. Other birds like to winter here in NH, or stay year-round. Let’s meet at
Rollins Park for a winter bird walk where we will learn about some of these common NH
birds and how to identify them. Be sure to dress warmly, bring your own binoculars if
you have them, and wear a mask. We will be outside for the entire program.

Now Lets Plan Your Summer!
We believe that summer is a time for having fun, making new friends and experiencing new activities and adventures. Our summer camps
allow your child to do just that in a safe, day camp setting. Please read our Parent's Guide from cover to cover, as it will answer many of
your questions regarding your child's time at camp. Our parents guide is located on our website.
Our Traditional "all day"
Camp Staff
Our camp staff are selected based on their interest in working with
children. The staff have CPR and First Aid certification and all
are 17 years old and older. Creativity, enthusiasm, and excellent
communication skills are strong characteristics of our camp staff
members. Staff work together as a team and are involved with
the campers at all times. The Parks & Recreation Department

requires background checks for all employees.

family financial situation that limits participation due to the fee, please contact the Parks & Recreation Department to make arrangements for
a fee reduction. Scholarships are not available to non-residents or for adult programs. Scholarships are available for most (but not all) youth
