Wilderness Awareness School Health Guidelines

Updated June 2024

Our number one priority is the health and safety of our students, staff, and community. We will update this page regularly with new policy updates, guidelines, and FAQs. 

Health Guidelines

We ask participants of Adult and Youth programs to stay home if they have signs or symptoms of Covid-19, Flu, or other illnesses. Please see the following King County Health Guidelines for more specific guidance. In short, please stay at home from our programs until you are getting better overall. Contact a staff member if you are not able to attend a class or program day.

Overnight Programs

There is no testing requirement to participate in overnights. Should anyone become sick during one of our programs, we have a series of specific protocols that we will be following – including potentially needing to send participants home. We will do our best to help transport you (or your child) home, but you may need to arrange transportation at your own expense for yourself (or pick up your child) at our field location.

Tuition and Refund Policy

Our standard refund policy applies to all programs. See our full refund policy here.
