Ahoy Sailors,
We hope you’re staying well and finding fun ways to keep busy while we shelter in place. We’ve been busy preparing for when restrictions are lifted, so you can enjoy sailing at ACSC safely.
At this time, we have made the tough decision to cancel Session 1 of Sailing Camp, which was scheduled for June 9th through June 19th. We are hoping to re-open for Session 2, which begins June 22nd.
Please know we are taking into account all guidelines from local and state agencies, along with guidance from the CDC, American Camps Association, and US Sailing to best prepare for a summer that is safe for all participants and staff. Our new safety, sanitization, and distancing protocols are being finalized based upon those guidelines, and you can expect to be provided with our detailed strategies prior to your camp start date.
Certainly, there will be changes to the camp day from the sailor’s perspective, such as daily “Healthy Sailor” screenings, no shared equipment, regular sanitizing breaks, possibly single-handed sailing only, etc. For now, the biggest change we expect to see to the ACSC camp schedule includes staggered “curbside” drop-off and pick-up times to avoid a crowd at the site each morning and afternoon. Please be aware that camp was originally scheduled for 9am-4pm for all sailors, and that may shift to something like 8:45am-3:45pm or 9:15am-4:15pm depending on your small group.
We’re eagerly awaiting Alameda County’s next orders regarding lifting of the restrictions, and looking forward to seeing your sailors in summer camp. We know that summer planning is quite a challenge right now, so our goal is to closely follow the county recommendations for being able to run our camps.
For individual cancellations, we have amended our 2020 refund policy to allow participants to cancel at any time, and either receive a future credit, a transfer of tuition to a tax-deductible donation to ACSC, or a full refund. Note; ACSC will absorb the $40 transaction fee for registration refunds.
If you have questions or concerns at this time, please feel free to contact our Program Director, Emily Zugnoni, at ProgramDirector@SailAlameda.org or at (510)629-9282.
From all of us at Alameda Community Sailing Center, we thank you for your support as we excitedly await a safe, healthy, and happy return to sailing.
