One-Day Program COVID-19 Practices
Respiratory virus/COVID-19 PRACTICES
Updated March 2024 - Additional updates to come as the CDC, national, state and county guidelines evolve.
Please know that while Outward Bound California (OBCA) is making every effort to implement protocols that minimize the risk of illness transmission, we cannot guarantee that COVID-19 or other respiratory viruses will not be present on course. For detailed information regarding the protocols for your upcoming OBCA program, see below.
Reach out to your Program Manager if you have additional questions.

PRIOR TO COURSE START
DAY of COURSE
- We ask that you stay home if you have any signs or symptoms of illness, or test positive for COVID-19 within five days before course. Please use the CDC guidelines for Preventing Spread of Respiratory Viruses When You're Sick to guide you decision to attend. COVID-19 is not the only infectious illness that we want to prevent the spread of, but it is the most serious.
- If you were recently (within 5 days) in close contact with someone who tested positive for COVID-19 and you do not have symptoms, please wear a well-fitting mask around others. OBCA staff will use the same criteria.
