Summer Art Camps Registration 2020
COVID-19 Policy Information (Please Read)
Bad Dog Arts is committed to the health, safety, and creativity of our students, employees and volunteers. In an effort to protect our community and prevent the spread of COVID-19, we are implementing a number of new safety procedures for all summer art camps and classes.
They include:
• Requiring parents, students, teachers, volunteers, and staff to wear a mask while
on premises at Bad Dog Arts
• Limiting class sizes to ensure social distancing
• Temperature and symptom checks upon arrival
• Assigning supplies and materials to each student to avoid sharing and cross-contamination
• Thorough cleaning all shared surfaces
• Requiring frequent hand washing and use of hand sanitizer
These extra precautions are based on recommendations by the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention, the Salt Lake County Health Department, and Bad Dog Arts commitment to social responsibility. While these safety measures are both necessary and considerate, they are also an additional financial burden for our small nonprofit organization. Please consider a donation to help us offset some of the costs and lost revenue. Donations of any amount will help us cover the additional staff, time, and supplies required to ensure we are protecting our community.
