Youth BEST Is Back In Action!
Bike Utah’s Youth BEST program is rolling out new and modified classes for Fall of 2020
Beginning in March 2020, the Youth BEST program shut down regular youth education programming at schools. Since then we’ve researched and discussed how to adapt our program to comply with leading public health guidelines for outdoor recreation in regards to Covid-19.
Following recommendations and guidelines set by the CDC, Utah Government, and Salt Lake City Health Department, we have implemented the following program changes:
Holding classes in public outdoor spaces within Salt Lake County where we are based.
Class size limit of 10 youths
Maintaining at least 6ft of distance among participants and BEST staff, when possible; designated spots/spacing will be marked on the ground as needed
Provision of hand sanitizers and mandated use for participants and staff
Requiring mask be worn at all times; mask will be provided for participants who do not have one
A temperature check of participants upon arrival
Provision of individual water bottles
Cleaning and sanitizing bikes, helmets, and other program materials in between classes
How to sign up?
The Youth BEST program will be offering free, two day courses to 4th - 7th grade students from schools and community groups throughout Salt Lake County, Utah. The program will be taught at two locations Oquirrh Park & Taylorsville Rec Center in Salt Lake County. We will have multiple two day sessions throughout the week with varying times to accommodate students as much as possible. We encourage those interested to apply as soon as possible to get their preferred time and dates as spots are limited. If you have any additional questions in regards to programming please contact youth@bikeutah.org or check out our FAQ page.
