RE: 2020 Summer Sailing Camp at Learn to
Sail Inc.
UPDATE ON OUR SUMMER SAILING CAMP DUE TO COVID 19
Dear Parent/Guardian,
However fluid the situation is with the
Corona Virus as of the first week of May, we at Learn to Sail want you to know
that we are working hard to provide a safe and fun-filled summer season for
your child. Some of our plans include but are not limited to the following:
1.
We
will be adding outdoor hand washing and sanitizing stations for all young
sailors and volunteers.
2.
A
Registered Nurse will capture everyone's temperature when they arrive on-site
each day, as well as ask the students and volunteers some basic questions which
are vital to keeping everyone safe. These questions will include:
a.
Has
anyone in your home been diagnosed with COVID-19?
b.
Have
you been ill with a fever, cough, stomachache, dizziness, or loss of appetite
in the last 14 days?
c.
How
are you feeling today?
3.
We
will be limiting the total number of persons allowed on the Learn to Sail
grounds during our sailing sessions hours to less than ten people (six students
& four volunteers).
4.
We
will be sanitizing each sailboat after each session.
5.
We
will only allow one student per sailboat unless a parent requests that students
share a boat.
For all families interested in our sailing
program for kids and teens ages 8–18, we encourage you to register your child
and sign our waiver form but refrain from making payment until further notice.
Should we get the green light from Charlotte County & Punta Gorda
City authorities to move forward with our sailing camp, we will be contacting
each family individually to discuss the next steps.
Learn to Sail has altered our previously
planned first two weeks of classes into Practice Sails so that we can avoid
inside classroom studies and maintain our social distancing responsibilities.
We are limiting these sessions to six students. All students must have taken
Beginning Sail Classes from Learn to Sail or another sailing school. Our
instructors will review the student registrations to make sure each child is
qualified for these sessions.
We have broken up the Practice Sails so that
you can sign your child up for one or more days or sign up for the entire two
weeks. We have also reduced our standard pricing for these sessions so that as
many children as possible can come.
If you are experiencing financial
difficulties due to COVID-19, please reach out to me via email at info@learntosailswf.com, and we will do our utmost to make it
possible for your child to attend. We consider all scholarship requests
confidential.
We are hopeful that our Summer Camp programs will be able
to continue as scheduled. Please visit our Learn to Sail website for
details on classes and registration.
We thank you for your
patience and wish you and your family the best. Stay safe and healthy!
Respectfully,
Julie Lynn Jackson, President
