Attire and Heat Precautions:
Please wear a swimsuit and/or bring a change of clothes as we will have several activities that involve water play outdoors.  Because many of the event activities will be outdoors and the temperature is increasing, we encourage you to remember to apply sunscreen and bring a personal water bottle to help stay hydrated.  We also encourage frequent breaks in the shade and indoor facilities that will be open as well.    

COVID Precautions and Masks:
Due to the increase in COVID cases across North Texas, the Down Syndrome Guild of Dallas highly encourages ALL participants to wear a mask and practice social distancing especially indoors.  However, we recognize not everyone feels comfortable wearing a mask and that it will also be very hot outdoors.  We continue to ask for your cooperation in exercising caution and using your best judgement with respect to those around you.  All staff and volunteers will be wearing masks, and frequent hand washing/sanitizing for all is highly encouraged.  

 Parking/Directions:
Jesuit Dallas is located at 12345 Inwood Road Dallas, TX 75244. Check in will be at Terry Center, and students will be at the school entrance with welcome signs and balloons directing families to parking and check in.  Please see Google Map directions at https://bit.ly/3ld2XyH
