Revised Covid-19 Status
Seniors Outdoors! has resumed its regular activity schedule. In a special meeting on Tuesday, April 23rd, the Seniors Outdoors! Board approved resumption of outings, meetings, an upcoming picnic, and SOS activities. The schedule for outings and meetings is posted under the tab above. As before, Seniors Outdoors! will continue to comply with recommendations and guidelines of applicable entities such as the CDC, State of Colorado, San Juan Basin Public Health, and La Plata County. Until further notice, completed Covid vaccinations are required for any member to participate in any SO! activity. Enforcement of that requirement will be by the honor system. Face masks and social distancing are no longer required at SO! outings. Carpools are encouraged and sometimes required. Participation limits on outings will be set by outing leaders. Seniors Outdoor will continue to comply with current local and state restrictions on indoor gatherings. All members are expected to respect the wishes of others for social distancing. Modifications will be made to these procedures, either more lax or more stringent, depending on the future course of the pandemic and guidelines.Schedule Changes:
