  2. click “Scan QR code” button, and THEN scan this Zelle QR code

Safety is a priority at every All-S Retreat. Although Covid numbers have gone down significantly, we still do what we can to prevent spread during the retreat.

  1. If someone tests positive for Covid before the retreat, they will be unable to attend but will receive a full refund.

  2. During sign in, attendees’ temperatures will be taken and they will be asked if they have experienced any Covid symptoms.

  3. If the attendee has a raised temperature or is experiencing any symptoms, a Covid test will be administered. A positive test will result in the attendee being sent home and refunded.

  4. Anyone with symptoms but not testing positive will be asked to mask until the symptoms have resolved.
