PSGW Health and Safety Considerations for 2022-3
‍

We have come so far! We still have a ways to go until we are beyond the COVID-19 era. 
‍
We acknowledge that it is not possible to guarantee a virus-free gathering but as we value our community’s health and safety, we are taking precautions for everyone’s well-being. We do have some guidelines for all of us to follow while at camp. 
‍
Everyone who comes to New Years Retreat: 
• must be fully vaccinated against COVID according to the CDC definition of two doses of the COVID vaccine, completed at least fourteen days before arriving at camp. 
• must have received a COVID vaccine booster (third and fourth or fifth shot) if eligible. Boosters reduce the risk of infection and prevent severe disease in older and more vulnerable individuals. If you have a documented medical contraindication to receiving a booster, please request an exemption, and we will contact you with details of the exemption criteria and process. We will review and consider all exemption requests in light of the most current CDC guidelines. 
• must provide proof of vaccination and boosters. (Vaccination card or record on phone). 
• must test for COVID 2 days before coming to camp and then again before arriving the day camp begins, and provide proof (photo or actual test) of a negative result, either by email or in person upon arrival at camp. 
• must sign a waiver agreeing to hold harmless PSGW Board members and contractors. 
• agrees that if they come down with symptoms at camp, they will need to take a COVID test. PSGW will provide the test kit. If the results are positive, they will need to leave the site and we will prorate a refund. 
• agrees that camp, like any gathering, poses health risks. Pilgrim Firs follows the current Washington State guidelines for health and safety in regard to food service, hospitality, and COVID protocols.
