We're excited to welcome you back to Mount Hermon and your safety is our number one priority. To mitigate possible exposure each guest will complete a health screening upon arrival, be asked to wear face coverings when in public spaces, and as much of the program as possible will be held outdoors including meals and teaching times. Specific details on our modified operations will be emailed to you four weeks before your event. We are grateful that you would consider visiting Mount Hermon!
Keep these in mind when you're packing.
If your work-life schedule allows, we recommend staying home for three days prior to the conference to limit your possible exposure. Please also self-screen prior to departure by checking your temperature to ensure it's below 100.4 and that you have no signs or symptoms of illness.
Have a Special Diet or Medical Dietary issue? Please fill out this form to let us know about it so we can better serve you.
Please plan to arrive at the Conference Center on Friday between 4:30–7:00pm. We will be conducting a health screening upon your arrival where we will ask you a series of health related questions and check your temperature. Please observe social distancing during the check-in process.
