Adjustments Due to Covid-19

Classes and programs offered by the Arts Council may be adjusted to be responsive to evolving City of Oxford, Lafayette County and Health Department guidelines.

Camp size will be limited to no more than 20 campers

Children will need to wear a mask, some camps will provide them. Children will not be required to wear masks while eating snack or lunch.

Temperatures will be taken of all children and employees when entering camp.

Hand sanitizing station will be set up at entrance and children will need to clean hands on arrival.

Employees and campers will wash hands frequently.

Tables and bathrooms will be sanitized multiple times during the day.

Children and employees who have a fever or any symptoms of illness will be sent home immediately. Families will be given a prorated refund for days missed. (We also ask that if any family members of campers or employees get sick, that those individuals stay home as well to minimize risk of exposure.)

Children will be met outside for pickup and drop off by a staff member to minimize people in the building and we ask that the same person come for pick up and drop off if at all possible.

Some sinks will be closed to maintain social distancing in the bathrooms.

If multiple camps occur at the same time, they will be in separate rooms with separate entrances and will use separate bathrooms.

Items brought by students including lunch boxes and water bottles should be taken home daily to be cleaned.

 

Adult classes will follow similar guidelines. Class sizes will be limited, temperatures will be checked on arrival, masks will be worn, hand sanitizer and good hand hygeine will be practiced. Social distancing guidelines will be followed.


Specific camps and classes may have additional guidelines.

Refunds will be offered on camps and classes that have to be cancelled due to changes in community polices as set by City of Oxford, Lafayette County and the Health Department. Refunds will be offered on a prorated basis if a child or family member becomes ill, and it is determined for the health and safety reasons that the child should not attend camp. Due to the limited number of spaces available for camp, priority will be given to those attending the full camp. Day or partial registrations will be an option if camps do not reach full enrollment.

The Arts Council offers a variety of art and acting classes and camps throughout the year for children and adults.  All classes are located at the Powerhouse unless otherwise indicated.
