Covid-19 Safety

In planning for Youth Summer Camp, AFSR has taken direction from the CDC, the Sonoma County Health Services Department, and our state and local authorities. While it should be acknowledged that complete elimination of risk is not possible, the Alliance Française de Santa Rosa is committed to implementing the safest protocols to mitigate the spread of COVID-19 and provide a low-risk, safe camp experience for all concerned. All classes are offered online via Zoom, unless arranged in advance by Instructor and Parent or Guardian.
