[COVID-19 UPDATE] EYA is planning for in-person programs with some changes to keep you and your family safe, including small group sizes, outdoor activities, wearing masks, 2-metre physical distancing, no sharing of gloves, mass sanitation of tools, frequent hand-washing, and safely-prepared pre-packaged lunches. We're carefully monitoring updates from health authorities - if we can't run in-person programs, we'll adapt as needed.
