Covid-19 Safety and Protocols

Covid-19 Symptoms
If your child or any staff member becomes ill while at Adat+, our protocol is as follows: Children will be cared for by our staff in isolation until you come to pick them up. Parents will be required to pick their child up within one hour of being notified of their illness. By participating in the Adat+ program, the parent or guardian of the child agrees to be READILY AVAILABLE and able to pick-up their child from ADAT upon notification from staff members that their child is sick or ill or that their child is showing signs/symptoms of sickness or illness. READILY AVAILABLE is defined as being able to pick-up the child from Adat+ within one hour or less, no exceptions. Parents and guardians must ensure that they have made all the necessary arrangements for emergency pick-up, including a back-up plan, should they be contacted suddenly by Adat+ to pick-up their child.

Any staff member, child or person in the staff or child’s household exhibiting COVID-like symptoms is assumed to have COVID-19 and the staff member or child may only return to Adat+ when all three of the following criteria are met: 

1) At least 3 days (72 hours) have passed since recovery (resolution of fever without the use of fever-reducing medications)

2) The affected individual has improvement in respiratory symptoms (e.g., cough, shortness of breath); and

3) At least 10 days have passed since symptoms first appeared.

Positive Covid-19 Case
If any staff member, child or person in the staff or child’s household tests positive for COVID-19, the individual’s group will be suspended for a minimum of two weeks. Suspension and resumption of a group will be at the sole discretion of the Program Director, the Executive Director of Adat Ari El and the COVID-19 taskforce.
In addition, we will:

1) Notify and coordinate our response with local health officials

2) Notify staff, and families immediately of a COVID-19 diagnosis while maintaining confidentiality as required by the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)

3) Close off areas used by that person and will not use them again until cleaning and sanitizing has occurred

4) Ensure safe and correct application of sanitizers and keep sanitizing products away from children

5) Inform those exposed to a person with COVID-19 to stay home and self-monitor for symptoms for 14 days and follow CDC guidance if symptoms develop;

6) Monitor State and local health department notices daily about transmission in the area and adjust operations and this policy accordingly.

The Program Director and the Executive Director of Adat Ari El are responsible for responding to COVID-19 concerns and will have a rapid response team ready to quickly respond to any COVID-19 situations that may arise.

Cancellation and Refund Policy
Notification in writing to the Program Director of any cancelations at least 14 days prior to the start of the session will result in a full refund, less the non-refundable deposit. No prorated or full refund shall be offered if the camper leaves before the end of the month-long session. There shall be no refund for absence due to illnesses. We do not offer a partial refund for days missed.

Should Adat+ need to close due to government order or natural or unforeseen circumstances the month in session will NOT be refunded. Any un-started program sessions paid in advance of a mandated closure will result in a full refund or account credit, less the non-refundable deposit.
