SAFETY PROTOCOLS
Loose fitting, casual clothing (t-shirts/stretch pants) and sneakers are perfect for the camp and its activities. Sandals are not recommended.
Campers please bring water bottle, snack, lunch, a small rug, blanket or towel.
A new HVAC system was installed in the building in July 2020. Please bring a sweater or sweatshirt in the case of extreme air-conditioning.
Effective Thursday, March 3, 2022, Arlington County will no longer require masks for the public and most employees while inside County government facilities. This decision follows new guidance from the CDC issued on Feb. 25, 2022.
Currently, Arlington County is “Low,” meaning individuals may choose to wear a mask based on personal preference and level of risk of developing severe illness. For the public and most employees, masks will no longer be required inside County facilities, so long as Arlington is in the “Low” level.
People may choose to mask at any time. People with symptoms, a positive test, or exposure to someone with COVID-19 should wear a mask.
This change in the County’s mask policy is consistent with the recent guidance issued by CDC and Virginia Department of Health, as well as Arlington Public Schools. The CDC recommends everyone 5 years and older be up to date, meaning a person has received all recommended COVID-19 vaccines, including any booster dose(s) when eligible. To find a vaccine location near you, visit vaccines.gov, walk-in to one of the County’s clinics, or call our COVID-19 hotline at 703-228-7999.
