Every week has it’s challenges and everyone at Sun Country is quick to make sure we continue to practice and implement our safety protocols every day. We understand at this time there is a level of uncertainty and concern, but we want to continue to be transparent in all our efforts and guidelines and we are making sure everyone is safe and healthy. We welcome you to reach out to us with any concern or question you may have, we’re here to help.
Download our Disease Prevention Standards Guidelines. The health and safety of our students, family and staff is always top priority at Sun Country. Please review our up-to-date protocols outlining all the steps we are taking to ensure everyones safety during our re-opening phases.
To clarify, face coverings will be required:
• On arrival at the West location
• On the way to, and during transitions between activities
• During non-active programs, like arts & crafts
Face coverings will NOT be required for students:
• Attending Team practice at Millhopper
• During active programs, like rock climbing, dance, gymnastics and swimming
• While eating lunch or snack
To transition, we will begin encouraging face coverings August 10, 2020. If you haven’t already, please encourage your children to bring a mask so they can get used to the feeling. Our staff will practice positive reinforcement over the coming weeks, and will begin requiring coverings, as outlined above, on August 24, 2020.
Students should already be bringing a water bottle each day, clearly labeled with their name. During physical activities where students remove their mask, we will have them attach it to their water bottle for safe keeping. Students may also place it in their pocket, as appropriate.
If a student needs a face covering, we will provide a disposable mask for a $1.00 charge to your Sun Country account. We will also have kids size reusable cloth masks available for purchase for $10.50 plus tax. Please make sure cloth face coverings are washed daily, and please do not reuse disposable masks.
Thank you for your help and support as we work together to keep our students, families and staff safe and healthy.

In the event we are notified of a customer or employee who has tested positive, we immediately work to identify those who have been in close contact within the previous two days, and notify them right away. We follow CDC’s definition of close contact.
Based on guidance from the Alachua County Health Department, and to protect the privacy of those affected, Sun Country does not issue a company-wide statement for isolated positive cases.
The communication to parents has been wonderful! The safety measures put in place make me feel comfortable sending my children to the gym
Sun Country has done everything they can to mitigate risk and create a healthy and safe environment for the kids!!
Camp Sunny thought of everything when it came to the safety of our children. I am extremely pleased with all of their safety measures.
Sun Country was prepared to open from Day 1.They clearly put thought into each part of the process for every program. My daughter is so happy to be back in class, and I am so relieved to know that she is as safe as she can be when I drop her off.
I feel SunCountry has implemented recommendations for COVID-19 put out by the CDC in a safe and effective manner. I feel good about sending my kids there for classes and camp. I like that SunCountry is using an on-line secure video system for parents to watch their kids during camp or classes. I realize this is a trying time for everyone, with information changing rapidly but I feel SunCountry has done a great job of implementing processes to keep kids, parents, and staff safe as well as communicating those processes to parents.
