For Immediate Release From Frederick County, MD Parks & Recreation!
PLEASE NOTE: As our understanding of COVID-19 and best practices changes, so might the information in this guide. We’ll keep parents as up to date as possible with changes.
COVID-19 AND PROGRAMMING: In this guide, you’ll find all the ways Frederick County Parks and Recreation is working to minimize the risk of COVID-19 exposure. However, it’s important that participants, parents/guardians, staff, and friends realize that we cannot guarantee that there will be no exposure to COVID-19. As you’ll read, we’re moving all programs outdoors, screening participants and staff, cleaning and sanitizing more, and changing a lot of our policies to make sure the risk is as low as possible, but there’s always a chance of exposure.
COVID-19 RESPONSE TEAM: If you have questions about COVID-19 and programming, please contact our main office at 301-600-2936 or by email at parksandrecreation@frederickcountymd.gov.
HIGHER RISK: We recommend that higher-risk participants consult their medical provider to assess the risk before attending. For more information, on how to better protect high risk individuals from COVID-19 visit the CDC Website.
PROGRAM OFFERINGS: Please carefully review the information below. It is possible that our health and safety policies will change (either enhanced or relaxed) as new guidance from the Health Department and/or the CDC become available. Frederick County Parks and Recreation is committed to keeping our network informed and will issue updates to our policies as they develop.
INCLEMENT WEATHER: For a forecasted weather event including heavy rain, strong storm, and/or adverse heat conditions, a decision will be made on the status of the program by 7:00am each morning for programs beginning prior to 4:00pm and by 3:00pm each afternoon for programs beginning prior to 4:00pm. In the event of questionable weather, please call our inclement weather phone line prior to leaving for the program at 301-600-6291 (option 2).
If there is an unforeseen and/or pop-up storm/emergency, participants and staff will seek shelter at a predetermined location. Parents will be notified via phone call if early pickup is required.
For any cancelled day(s) of a program that cannot be rescheduled, participants will receive a pro-rated refund for the number of day(s) missed.
