Other:

Do you understand the following about COVID-19 related risks?

people using public spaces in the region (rural) are not taking precautions seriously, as of August

trainees and trainers are expected to use their best judgement whether they have been exposed to COVID-19 and choose wisely whether to come or not

you may be asked to wear a mask while climb training in physical proximity to trainers, but we are not requiring masks at camp

you will need to bring all your own food and kitchen gear (some pre-packaged or pre-made food will be available)

it might make sense to bring or find a 'training buddy' to be in a pod with you, to share gear and meals

What should our trainers know in order to help you learn? Do you need any accommodations?

Do you need to carpool? Other considerations?

Can you bring extra food to share with campers in addition to covering your own meals?

I can bring dishes and utensils for camp use

I can bring extra cooking gear

I can bring clean pre-packaged foods, fruits and veggies, spices, or other things
