April 22, 2022 – Update to COVID-19 Plan

Vermont Adaptive is updating its COVID- 19 RESPECT THE PLAY practices to reflect current best practice and to create as safe a place for Every BODY to play as possible. Effective immediately, vaccination and boosting against COVID-19 are now strongly encouraged but not mandatory for all Vermont Adaptive participants. However, out of respect for the health and safety of our community and for individual needs and risk factors, we are asking that all members of our community:  athletes, companions, volunteers, interns, and staff, please wear a mask indoors, in enclosed spaces, and all other times except when OUTSIDE and either MOVING and/or more than 6 feet away from others. Additionally, if someone you are working with requests that you wear a mask, we should all respect that request and wear a mask.

Thank you for adhering to these Summer 2022 RESPECT THE PLAY practices:

1. We STRONGLY ENCOURAGE ALL Participants (athletes, companions, volunteers, interns, staff) to be fully vaccinated and boosted.
2. We will ALL wear a mask except when OUTSIDE and MOVING or more than SIX FEET away from others.
3. We will ALL agree to wear a mask if someone, anyone, we are working with requests it.  
4. We will all meet each other where we are- if someone we are working with is wearing a mask, we ALL will too.
5. We will ALL complete a daily verbal health check and stay home if we are sick or we can’t pass the health check.

These Summer 2022 RESPECT THE PLAY practices are effective immediately and will apply to all Vermont Adaptive Summer programs and the Vermont Adaptive Charity Challenge.

These practices may change and Vermont Adaptive reserves the right to make updates as Federal, local, and industry guidance change. If you have questions about these RESPECT THE PLAY practices, or you are concerned that you may not be able to meet them, please speak with the Program Coordinator at your location.
