SAFETY:

We want to be sure you feel secure at this event! If the weather allows, lots of activities will happen outdoors, but if it's rainy, we will be indoors. ​

• Our TLC Medical Team will be on-site all day to support any medical issues that may arise. This team includes two Oncology Nurse Practitioners from Seattle Children's, and the Director of Nursing at SCCA.

• ALL PARTICIPANTS will wear masks when indoors. During lunchtime, each family will have your own table in a large and airy cafeteria, spaced 8-10 feet from other families.

• ALL PARTICIPANTS will be subject to a health screening upon arrival, including a temperature check and symptoms survey.  We will not allow anyone with symptoms of illness to participate.

• ALL VOLUNTEERS will have shown proof of vaccination including the bivalent booster for COVID-19.  If a volunteer hasn’t received the booster, we will require a Covid test the day of the event.

• ALL PARTICIPANTS will make regular use of the plentiful supply of hand sanitizer that will be provided.

​

We also expect that you consult your primary medical provider to be sure an event like this is appropriate for your child and family.

FAQ:

 

If only part of my family can attend, is that OK? 

YES! As long as one parent or caregiver is present.

​

May I bring extended family or family friends?

Sorry, this event is for your immediate family only (i.e. those who live in your home).

​

What will the food be like?

We will serve a buffet of pre-packaged lunch items like sandwiches, salads, chips, and fruit. We will provide a few options for kids and adults. We can accommodate vegetarians. If you have a family member who is gluten free, dairy free, or has another specific allergy, please plan to bring some food of your own.

​

My kids are super young...will they have fun?

They will!  We will have a special space dedicated to babies and preschoolers, staffed by a team of expert, professional preschool educators.
