DSHA COMMUNITY HEALTH MEASURES

The health and safety of our community remains a high priority at DSHA. As we continue to navigate the COVID-19 pandemic, DSHA is working with a medical advisory committee to inform and integrate health and safety protocols based on CDC recommendations and community needs. Given the fluid nature of COVID, guidelines and recommendations with regard to masking and distancing will be communicated closer to the start of camp dates, and may evolve throughout the summer.

We thank you for your flexibility and cooperation as we work to keep our community safe.
