The ACC has made changes to our huts and our booking system to make them available for bookings for summer 2020 and up to October 31. There are presently no plans in place for hut bookings after October 31. Our huts are available for booking requests by ACC members as well as the general public. Reservations are required for all bookings.
For summer 2020 we have:
- Made all hut bookings exclusive to reduce contact between groups and reduce potential geographic spread of COVID-19.
- Reduced all hut group sizes to 15 person maximum.
- Scheduled 24 hour transition periods between bookings at our busiest facilities for disinfecting.
- Limited bookings at our more remote huts to one booking per week and allowed for a minimum of 72 hours between bookings.
- Increased COVID-related hut user information and signage.
- Removed all non-essential hut items (extra kitchen supplies, books, games, etc.).
- Installed hand sanitizing stations.
- Increased cleaning and disinfecting supplies.
Entire hut bookings
All hut booking for summer 2020 will be for the entire hut (exclusive booking). There will be one point of contact for the booking and all members of the group accept the collective risk of traveling together and staying in the hut.
