Safety is one of our top priorities at Summer Search. We firmly believe that our youth are only able to fully participate in their Summer Experience if every effort is taken to ensure everyone is as safe as possible.  

​

In addition to the traditional safety protocols present in all our summer experiences, Summer Search and our partners are enacting additional practices around COVID-19. While we cannot guarantee COVID-19 will not be present during summer experiences, we are making every effort to mitigate risks. 

 

Summer Search COVID-19 Practices

Below are some of the additional practices that Summer Search is implementing for our 2023 experiences. We’ll continue to share more specific details as we approach the summer.  

​

• No experience will start if in conflict with local health or CDC guidelines at the time 

• No experience will start if there is not ample hospital capacity in the program area.  

• Prior to the start of the experience, participants will abide by precautionary measures, such as physical distancing and use of face coverings, with anyone not in their household.  

• Daily health screenings will be conducted during the program 

• Anyone experiencing COVID-19 symptoms, tests positive for COVID-19 or has been in close contact with someone experiencing COVID-19 like symptoms will not be allowed to participate 

• If a participant experiences COVID-19 symptoms during their program, they will be supported and taken off-course to be tested. Families will be notified as soon as possible.  

• Summer Search will monitor any new variants (e.g. Omicron) and implement any additional practices to mitigate risks
