Safety First | Safety and Security Policies Regarding Masks and Face Coverings |
The 3 Major Considerations Regarding Masks:
1. COVID mask guidelines recommend covering the nose and mouth only.
2. Halloweekend guidelines address and restrict FULL face coverings and masks to set times and locations for guest safety and security concerns.
3. Security Reasons – Avoiding fully covered faces where ONLY the guest’s eyes are showing. We want to honor the spirit of the holiday fun, but must keep safety and security a priority, which includes identifying guests when needed.
Ocean Lakes’ Mask Policies:
1. Full masks and face coverings (that cover MORE than the nose and mouth) are only permitted to be worn in Ocean Lakes for the 5 Halloweekends (on Fridays and Saturdays).
2. Full masks and face coverings cannot be worn in our businesses (Sandy Mart, RV Center, Golf Cars, Main Office, Ocean Lakes Properties, Sandy Harbor) except during Trick-or-Treating on Saturdays from 4:30 – 6:30 PM. They are generally permitted in the Recreation Center as it is the hub of our Halloweekend events and costume contests.
3. Operating a vehicle or golf car with a FULL mask or face covering is NOT permitted as it is a safety issue and hinders Security in identifying underage drivers.
Security Teammates will use discretion on a case-by-case basis as needed throughout Halloweekends regarding masks, coverings, costumes, and decorations.
Please remember all the “young eyes and young ears” in our campground and be family-friendly!
Until Next Time | Halloween is one of the most fun times of the year at Ocean Lakes. Everyone at the campground decorates and joins in on all of the weekend festivities. For many families near and far, Halloweekends have become an annual family tradition! Bring your candy bag and pumpkin – It is a treat for everyone!
