COVID19 Programming Guidelines

In order to ensure the health and safety of all of Catalyst Sports participants and volunteers, we have created the following set of general guidelines categorized by adventure program type. Keep in mind that these are general guidelines and do not replace the better judgement of the program leaders. Also, please be sure to check with each of the gyms and facilities in which the programs are taking place and be sure to follow all of their guidelines in addition to the ones listed here.
