COVID-19 Policy & Procedures
updated July, 2022
Girl Gotta Hike is committed to ensuring the health and safety of all our guides and event participants. Vaccination against COVID-19 is recommended for all participants. The safety policy and procedures will remain in compliance with the latest CDC recommendations.
Exposure: Individuals will be required to postpone their participation if they have recently tested positive for COVID-19 and are still within the CDC recommended quarantine period.
Symptoms / Sickness: If any individuals or guides begin to experience flu-like symptoms while on an adventure, they will be physically distanced from the rest of the group while a determination is made how to best seek further care. Symptomatic participants will be required to wear a face mask at all times until reaching definitive care.
Hygiene, Cleaning and Disinfection: The use of shared equipment, such as tents and cooking gear will be limited. Individual hand sanitizing must occur when gear must be shared, and all gear will be sanitized between uses.
Contact Tracing: If within 5 days of participation in a Girl Gotta Hike event, an individual tests positive for COVID-19, they must notify Girl Gotta Hike as soon as possible, so we can notify fellow participants.
