Bromley, Stratton and The Hermitage
At Bart Adaptive Sports Center, the well-being of our participants has remained at the forefront of our minds throughout the COVID-19 crisis. The question we now face – how do we safely and effectively return to in-person programs in the winter operations, while protecting the health and wellness of our community?
According to the CDC, “Disability alone may not be related to a higher risk for getting COVID-19 or having severe illness. Most people with disabilities are not inherently at higher risk for becoming infected with or having severe illness from COVID-19. However, some people with disabilities might be at a higher risk of infection or severe illness because of their underlying medical conditions. Adults with disabilities are three times more likely than adults without disabilities to have heart disease, stroke, diabetes, or cancer than adults without disabilities.” This information alone, reminds us to proceed with a higher level of caution, and that being “first” in your community should be avoided. We will take the benefit of some time to learn from other effective strategies, plan carefully, train your providers and form local partnerships that help prepare for the safest possible environment.
Bart Adaptive Sports Center will follow CDC and the Vermont Department of Health, as well as any guidelines set forth from Bromley / Stratton for winter operations. All volunteers and participants need to abide by VT’s travel restrictions to participate in programming. This is subject to change based on updates from the Vermont Department of Health. https://accd.vermont.gov/covid-19/restart/cross-state-travel#map
Bart Adaptive Sports typically does not start ski and snowboard lesson until December 26th. Lessons, prior to the December date is based on instructor availability and terrain.
