The current circumstances regarding Covid-19 are ever-changing and best practices for safety are constantly evolving. The following guidelines have been used in past years to keep our community safe. Guidance from state and local authorities will determine actual policies for the upcoming summer season.

We ask that students start exercising increased precautions (stay at home as much as possible, wear masks in public spaces, increased hygiene practices) two weeks before arriving on campus, and to continue to exercise as many precautions as possible while traveling to Idyllwild. Depending on the situation during the current summer, safety regulations may include:

Requiring students to provide COVID test results immediately upon arrival on campus.
Holding smaller classes in well-ventilated or outdoor spaces.
Two students per dorm room. (Three students per room is standard for summer.)
Staggering Dining Hall meal times to accommodate smaller groups of students at a time.
Daily Health Symptom screenings.
Social distancing rules and wearing masks while in indoor spaces.

Students who do not follow all health and safety guidelines will be subject to school discipline, up to and including being immediately dismissed from the program and sent home.
