BACHUTZ PARENT AND PARTICIPANT AGREEMENT

Due to the global pandemic, VBS has created a Participant Agreement that covers all safety protocols for both the trails and the current health climate. The County of Los Angeles Department of Public Health is adopting a staged approach, supported by science and public health expertise, to allow for people to start to use public spaces again in ways that will limit the risk of exposure to COVID-19. Accordingly, the County of Los Angeles is reopening public trails and trailheads to allow residents increased outdoor recreation options.
All participants must:
Stay at least six (6) feet from others who are not members of your household at all times.
Avoid crowded areas.
Wear a face covering at all times.
Don’t use trails that are crowded. If you are on a trail and notice a crowd ahead of you turn back.
Don’t leave your home if you are sick with a fever or respiratory symptoms or are currently under isolation or quarantine.
Do not gather in groups or linger at any one location except as needed for brief rests.
Do not share food or water while out on the trails.
The participants will bring their own hand sanitizer, water and snacks.
This form is to be read and signed by both the parent and participant before the participant is allowed to take part in this activity. He/She must follow all instructions both adhered to by Valley Beth Shalom as well as the County of LA Department of Health and the LA County Department of Parks and Recreation.
