We’re thrilled to offer these immersive outdoor education programs. The safety of you and your students is of the utmost importance to us, and we have carefully reviewed all guidance from the CDC, Washington State Department of Health and Kitsap Public Health District in developing our safety policies and procedures, which are listed below.
As COVID-19 health and safety guidelines can shift rapidly, we will keep you updated on any changes in protocols and procedures. If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to reach out to Joan Hutchinson at [email protected].
Upon arrival, we will inquire if students, teachers, and chaperones have any COVID-19 symptoms and conduct temperature checks.
Additional cleaning methods will be employed to reduce risk to school groups and staff. Cleaning methods will follow CDC guidance and include increased frequency of cleaning and disinfecting of communal spaces, shared items, frequently touched surfaces, and restrooms.
IslandWood acknowledges that we live and work on the ancestral land of the Coast Salish people, who have been stewards of this region's land and waters since time immemorial, and who continue to protect these lands and waters for future generations, as promised by the Point Elliott Treaty of 1855, the Treaty of Point No Point of 1855, and the Treaty of Medicine Creek of 1854.
While the majority of our work takes place on Suquamish (suq̀ʷabš) and Duwamish (dxʷdɐwʔabʃ) land, we also conduct programs on the land of the Snohomish (sduhúbʃ), Puyallup (spuyaləpabš), Muckleshoot (buklshuhls), Skokomish (sqoqc’bes), and S’Klallam (nəxʷsƛ̕ay̕əm) peoples.
