Health and Safety Protocol
Seacoast Science Center believes that the safety of its visitors, program participants, staff, and volunteers is paramount. For over 30 years, SSC has established a track record of putting the safety of its program participants first. We also believe it is important for SSC to provide a trusted source of child daycare for parents and an educational outlet for children in our community. In light of the COVID-19 pandemic, we have expanded our day camp health and safety protocols while implementing additional preventative measures for infectious disease control. All procedures and protocols were developed with the best practices advanced by the US Centers for Disease Control and State of NH Covid-19 Response Universal Best Practices in mind.
Please read our Health and Safety Protocol for Youth Programs Fall 2022-Winter 2023 for a detailed plan of the protocol and procedures followed for all youth programs considering COVID-19. Be aware that there may be updates to our policies to ensure a safe environment as the community health situation evolves.
