When registering for and/or attending a public program, please keep KNC's expectations in mind:
• Program staff and participants must practice social distancing at all times.
• KNC staff are required to wear masks when physical distancing cannot be observed. Children ages 2 – 16 are required to wear masks at all programming. KNC requests that adults wear masks when physical distancing cannot be honored unless they are vaccinated. Although adults are not required to wear a mask at outdoor programming, at programming with children we encourage mask wearing to provide a good example for the children present.
• Hand sanitizer will be available at all programs.
• Prior to arriving at KNC, staff will complete KNC's COVID-19 health questionnaire. Staff showing any signs of illness will not report to work. Substitute program staff will be found.
• Prior to arriving at KNC, participants should monitor their health for signs of COVID-19. If you show any signs of illness, please stay home.
• All programs will be held outdoors, unless noted. In the case of inclement weather, the program will be cancelled.
