PLEASE KEEP IN MIND
The State of California and the County of San Diego have mandated certain protocols and guidelines in
order to offer our programs to the public which we must continue to follow. We are moving forward with
programs as planned however, if key indicators continue to rise, the County of San Diego could choose
to shutdown programs and facilities due to the Covid-19 situation. We are closely monitoring the key
indicators to ensure we are doing everything possible to keep our customers safe.
If anything changes, we will reach out immediately to keep registered participants informed. We are looking
forward to engaging with our community. Some of the ways we are hoping to show you that your family’s
health and safety are our top priority are:
• For specific guidance, please view the Guidance for Youth Programs and Enrichment Camps/Classes.
• Participant temperature checks at each facility and program
• Additional staff dedicated to cleaning
• Reduced capacity in programs
