See which camps have spots available at gepark.org/camps and explore newly added options on pages 26-28. FACE MASK POLICY UPDATE On Monday, May 17, Governor Pritzker issued an updated executive order to align Illinois mask guidance with the CDC, lifting the mask mandate and social distancing requirements for fully vaccinated individuals in most settings. During the Bridge to Phase 5 of Restore Illinois, the District will: • Continue to follow operational guidelines put in place by the Illinois Department of Public Health and other regulatory agencies including those related to athletics, camps, and facility capacity limits until they are updated, or additional direction is provided. Supervisors will email program specific guidance as needed to registered participants. • Allow fully vaccinated individuals to participate in Park District programs or visit facilities as a patron, spectator, or volunteer without a face covering. • Require face coverings for individuals who are not fully vaccinated in our programs and facilities, except while actively swimming, within the splash park area, or during outdoor fitness activities. Face coverings for youth sports are also subject to additional regulatory agency guidance including, but not limited to the DCEO All Sports Policy, various athletic leagues and their governing bodies, IHSA and/or Glenbard High School District 87. • Direct Glen Ellyn Park District employees and contractual program providers to continue to wear face coverings when working indoors or when social distancing cannot be maintained while working outdoors. The Glen Ellyn Park District still encourages all patrons to continue using facial coverings indoors, as well as outdoors during activities and when social distancing of at least 6 feet is not practical. Regardless of vaccination status, please refrain from coming onto property when you have signs or symptoms of COVID-19. We thank you for your patience and understanding as we navigate this next phase together. As always, please continue to be respectful of the health, safety, and choices of others, and continue to refer to gepark.org for the most current information and updates. SUMMER 2021 • 4 GET READY FOR FUN THIS SUMMER SPECIAL EVENTS A Reminder Regarding the Lake Ellyn Cardboard Regatta & Afternoon Festivities As announced in early May, in planning for summer activities, Park District staff reviewed current State of Illinois COVID-19 guidance and at that time, concluded that the Lake Ellyn Cardboard Regatta and July 4th Afternoon Festivities at Lake Ellyn Park would not take place for the summer of 2021. While our region’s COVID-19 statistics have been improving, it is challenging to determine what the guidelines will be in early July. Each year, a significant amount of advanced planning, time, and effort is expended by participants, volunteers, and the District towards organizing and implementing each of these events. To serve you better, the District will suspend these events for 2021 and reassess their return for 2022. In their place, resources generally reserved for these events will be allocated to smaller, more neighborhood focused, family events throughout the summer. These ‘mini’ events will be geared toward smaller groups in areas of our community that would not generally be able to have a large-scale activity in their neighborhood park.
