Covid precautions
Tribe 12 requires all participants to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 and will require proof of vaccination from all accepted applicants. All participants will be asked to either a) take a rapid test Wednesday, Thursday and Friday before the retreat OR b) take a PCR 48-72 hours before the retreats as well as a rapid test Friday before coming to camp. We will ask for a text confirming negative tests. We hope these precautions will allow members to experience the retreat to the fullest without social distancing or wearing a mask..
