2020 Youth Education Programs
To follow local health department safety guidelines, we will clean and disinfect before youth arrive and after they leave. Youth who are sick should stay home. Youth may be dropped off and picked up curbside. All participants must wash hands with soap and running water upon arrival and have their temperature checked.
