Summer Camp Safety Page
On May 13th, new federal guidelines by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) suggested that fully vaccinated people can go without masks in most indoor and outdoor situations. However, on May 15th, they have also released guidelines for schools:
CDC recommends that schools continue to use the current COVID-19 prevention strategies for the 2020-2021 school year.
Based on this guidance, Gravity has decided to continue our mask-wearing and social distancing policy.
We will closely monitor developments and we will inform you of any changes in policy as soon as we receive further clarification from the Center for Disease Control.
