Travel Advisory

The California Department of Public Health (CDPH) has issued an updated travel advisory. CDPH and the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) recommend delaying travel until persons are fully vaccinated, because travel increases the chance of getting and spreading COVID-19. Travelers who are not fully vaccinated should get tested before travel and upon arrival to their destination. They should stay home and self-quarantine for a full seven days after travel, even if their test is negative. Travelers who are not fully vaccinated and don't get tested should stay home and self-quarantine for 10 days after travel. Please review the full travel advisory for details if you are planning travel before attending City activities.

Don't Forget: Complete your Child's Participant Medical Form

It takes just a few minutes to complete a Participant Permission and Medical Data Form to provide information that can help us support your child in an emergency. The form is required once per year, per child. You can submit your 2021 form here. If you have already submitted your 2021 form, but have updated allergy or medical information, you can also submit an update. Thank you for helping us provide the best recreational experience for your child.

State Guidance on Face Masks During Camps & Activities

The California Department of Public Health (CDPH) has updated Guidance for the Use of Face Coverings to protect against COVID-19 transmission, and includes differing guidance for vaccinated and unvaccinated persons. The City of Irvine will continue to follow updated guidance as it is announced by CDPH , which at this time requires face coverings indoors for all, and outdoors for unvaccinated persons when physical distancing cannot be maintained. Exemptions and variations for this guidance can be found at the CDPH website.

We Can't Wait to See You! Here's What to Expect:

• Social Distancing: In-person camps and activities will be in small groups, short duration, and observe social distancing. Groups will not mingle with other groups during the activity. 
• Health Screening: Our facilities remain closed to the general public, and anyone entering for a camp or activity must answer health screening questions and may have their temperature checked to ensure safety for all participants. 
• Safety Measures: Camps and activities will not use shared equipment, and you may see additional safety equipment being installed, such as divider shields in reception areas.
• Personal Protective Equipment: City staff will be wearing personal protective equipment, such as masks and gloves. Participants are required to wear masks indoors. 
• Advance Registration Required: No in-person registration will be accepted. Registration is usually open until just before the activity begins, so you can register on-site by visiting yourirvine.org on your mobile device.
• Check-In, Check-Out, Pick-Ups: Social distancing will be enforced, and parent/guardians should obey all posted signage and line instructions.
