Our COVID policy is ever-changing based on state and federal CDC recommendations as well as the needs of our most vulnerable members. Our current COVID policy requires masking for all members detailed below:

  • masking indoors for all members
  • masking outdoors for adults when 3-foot distancing is not possible
  • masking outdoors for children. Children should be masked unless eating or swimming (with their family unit), as kiddos tend to not always follow personal space requirements.

Does your family agree to follow our COVID policy?
