Distance Learning Pod In-Person All-Day Learning Camp

Facilitate your child's Distance Learning

Helping your family adapt to the new normal

• Facilitate Distance Learning

  The new normal is “learning hubs”--trusted environments that will help facilitate your child’s distance learning and keep them active, all while making friends in a fun day camp.

• Low Risk and Compliant

  Our camp follows all CDC and County guidelines that put us in the low-risk category for day camps.

• Small Group Size

  To maximize our ability to best serve our students and to remain compliant with CDC and County guidelines, we are limiting our cohort group size to only 10 learners.

• Grade Appropriate Activities and Reading

  For learners that finish their school work early, we can provide additional learning experiences, worksheets, and activities such as puzzles and Lego play.

• Educational Games and Film

  Every learner has a Chromebook dedicated to them that includes educational video games that can be played during limited times during camp if required work is completed.

Health and Safety

• Limited Cohort Size

  We are limiting our group to only 10 learners to both accommodate County and CDC Covid-19 guidelines and to ensure your child gets the learning support that they need.

• Efficient Drop-off and Pick-Up

  We offer curb-side drop off to make your morning fast and efficient. Students enter using the rear entrance of school, down the right side of the building. New parents are welcome to see the facility as well.

• Face Coverings Required

  All staff and students are required to wear face coverings while indoors. We have extra disposable face masks if needed, but we recommend that you bring your own for comfort. We have a back yard patio area for snacking and for students that need to take a mask break.

• Health Screenings are performed upon entry

  Everyone that enters the dojo will get screened on entry with a touch-less thermometer. We will ask anyone with a temperature of 100.4 degrees or higher to leave. Students that show signs of illness such as consistent coughing or sneezing will be asked to leave.

• Students practice social distancing

  Every student has their own personal workstation space that is distanced from their peers. Martial arts and movement activities are similarly distanced.

• Purified Air Filtration System

  Our commercial air cleaner and purifier continually refreshes our training floor and classroom air.

• Regular Surface Cleanings

  In between classes, staff and assistants will disinfect surfaces throughout the dojo, including handles, door knobs, benches, and the training floor.

• Hand Sanitizer Stations

  We have provided extra hand-sanitizer stations mounted near all entrances and on the training floor. This is in addition to our two bathrooms equipped with soap and water.

• Bring your Own Water Bottle

  Students are encouraged to bring their own water bottles as the drinking fountain will be off-limits to prevent a point of contact.

• Greeting with a Bow

  In the martial arts, we have a long-standing tradition of greeting each-other with a bow. We will keep this tradition while eliminating hand-shakes and high-fives, reducing our amount of contact.

• Optional Outdoor Activities

  Weather permitting, we have outdoor activities available such as games in the back patio and walking visits to East Portal Park (about 2 blocks away).
