DMS Mask Policy: 2021-22
The DMS staff and board are excited to welcome our families back to campus! Based on recommendations from the CDC, Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment, San Juan Basin Public Health, and local medical professionals, DMS will be requiring masks for all students, staff, volunteers, and family members while indoors. As always, DMS is committed to the safety and health of our students, staff, families, and community. Thank you for your support and patience as we continue to navigate COVID-19.
Camp is on for Fall 2021!
DMS will return to Colvig Silver Camps in August 2021! We’ll spend seven Fridays learning about and appreciating our environment and the world around us, while enjoying swimming, kayaking, hiking, and more. Our families loved this opportunity last fall, and we are thrilled to be able to do it again, thanks to generous sponsorships from DMS families and Alpine Bank. Learn more.
