In an effort to keep participants, staff, and our community safe, we will be following the updated recommendations from the Washington State Department of Health during all workshops. While Covid-19 seems to be a moving target, we will monitor the current situation during Summer 2022 and make safety protocol decisions at that time.
We require that all participants are fully vaccinated (as defined by the WA DOH). In order to limit the number of participants sharing bedrooms*, we will need at least three participants who are willing to camp. We have built an outdoor bathroom facility for campers. If needed, the group will be divided into pods of three, and these groups will cook together as a team throughout the session. Meals will be shared outdoors in our screened-in dining area.
As of July 1, 2022 COVID seems to be moving about in all of our communities, so please take all precautions to help keep everyone healthy by taking proper care before attending a Quillisascut Workshop.
If you are feeling ill and have any covid symptoms please stay home and get well!
All participants are required to meet one of two criteria:
1.) Show proof of full vaccination against COVID-19 (as defined by the WA DOH) AND provide 2 negative antigen test taken 12 hours apart within 24 hours of arrival to Quillisascut (home tests permitted) OR
2.) Provide negative PCR test (home tests not permitted) completed within 72 hours of arrival to Quillisascut (in this case full vaccination is not required.) After testing, please mask up and limit exposure to others before arrival. AND provide 2 negative antigen (home tests) test taken 12 hours apart within 24 hours of arrival to Quillisascut

Workshop participants work together closely in the kitchen (masks are optional), and share family-style meals outdoors in our screened-in dining area. If needed, the group will be divided into pods of three, and these groups will cook together as a team throughout the session. In order to limit the number of participants sharing bedrooms*, we will need at least three participants who are willing to camp. We have built an outdoor bathroom facility for campers.
