COVID-19 SYSTEMS & PROCEDURES

The following procedures and protocols have been developed with the safety of all MWCRA families and programs participants in mind. It is imperative that all participants read these protocols carefully and adhere to them strictly.

The ability of MWCRA to continue providing a safe programming is dependent on everyone following the “rules”.
