It is recommended that all members attending the foray be fully vaccinated. Anyone over the age of 5 who is unvaccinated for any reason will be required to wear a mask at all times and maintain social distancing. All foray attendee's identification information will also be collected and retained in case contact tracing is required in the future. If the foray is full and you want to add some of your children to your current registration please contact me and I will add them.
