Announcement
Like many other schools and summer camps across the country, SOU Youth Programs is in the process of evaluating our programs in light of university, regional, and state health and safety guidelines, as there is an anticipated slow easing of restrictions over the next months.
SOU Youth Programs remains committed to trying to do as much as we are able this summer to safely meet young peoples’ need for engagement and connection.
Currently, we are taking the following steps to continue planning for a fun and enriching summer serving families in our Summer Better Than Others program:
June Classes
All of our June SBTO classes are cancelled, with the exception of our outdoor classes that are able to meet social distancing requirements.
As of now, Rowing, Golf, & FootGolf classes will go to waitlist only. These classes are contingent on the status of Oak Knoll Golf Course, and Emigrant Lake as well as other conditions. So, we won't be collecting any payment until we confirm that these classes are able to meet. A reminder: the size of these camps will need to be very limited, so sign up now!
July Classes
The July class schedule has been revised, and only the classes that are able to meet health and safety guidelines remain open to registration. These guidelines include:1) adequate social distancing 2) smaller class sizes 3) designated spaces not acccessed by anyone other than the instructor and students 4) equipment and materials designated to each student and not shared. There may also be PPE guidelines, but those are still developing at this time. Camps not able to meet these standards have been cancelled.
Camps that could be reformatted to meet these requirements have been updated and are now open for registration.
Check out our complete updated schedule below
Registration Information
All remaining camps will go to no payment/deposit required to get on the list. So, sign up now!
Follow the link on our website to complete your registration paperwork and you will be put on the list to be contacted closer to time to complete your payment.
