Summer Camp

Given the current environment and increased risk of transmission of COVID – 19 and that AZR is considered a high risk facility (we cannot disinfect the walls, ropes, auto belay lines on a regular basis, if at all (we cannot use any chemicals on the ropes and auto belay lines), we have implemented a series of steps to do our best to mitigate the transmission of the virus.

**You will be required to take your child’s temperature every day for one week PRIOR to the start of camp. You will need to turn in the temperature log on the first day of camp. **

1. Taking Temperature at the gym – Each day we will take your child’s temperature with a contact-less thermometer. If your child is above 100.4, they cannot stay. They must not have a temperature for 3 days prior to coming to camp and not using any fever reducing medications.
2. Kids will have to sanitize their hands upon arrival and departure. They will also be required to sanitize and/or wash hands frequently throughout the day and to not touch their faces. If they sneeze, they need to learn to do it into their elbow and then sanitize their hands, same thing with blowing their nose, sanitize, etc.
3. Face Masks – please send TWO face masks in a plastic bag with your child’s name on the bag and on the individual masks. We will do our best to make sure they have one at the gym at all times. If they lose, ruin or need to bring one of them home to wash it, we will let you know.
4. We will have smaller groups this year with no more than 5 kids per group (unless coming from the same household/co-risk group).
5. Each group counselor will stay with their group the entire week.
6. Activities will be limited to inside AZR only. This means we will primarily have climbing, yoga and Ninja training. We will also have some fun games, obstacle courses, etc. We may be able to bring in instructors from other partners and provide different activities.
7. Kids will eat lunch in their group and will wash hands before and after (as they always have…).
8. Staff will be wearing masks at all times, except during eating/drinking.
9. Campers are required to wear masks at all times, except while properly distanced for eating.

Unfortunately, no. The age policies are in place for a variety of reasons and all campers must fall between the ages of 6-12 years old by their start date.

We do ask to know all allergies, dietary restrictions, etc. however substitutions/changes cannot be made to the lunch menu. The lunch menu will be provided in advance so that parents are able to send in food from home if their child cannot eat/does not like the lunch for a specific day.

Yes, however we do ask to know in advance (as much as possible) and there is a charge. Ask about this upon registering your child.

The morning portion of the camp is the climbing portion. Camp starts promptly at 9:00a with a morning meeting covering the rules/guidelines, schedule of the day, and a stretching session. From there, they break up into groups and begin the climbing session. Campers rotate through stations, some of which are climbing and some of which are not. This gives the opportunity for those that are not super interested in to climbing to have a break and participate in other physical such as obstacle courses. There is no climbing in the afternoon.
