    Risk Management Policy:
    In the event that a child is not ready to fully participate in Ramblin’ Adventure Club and in turn puts the group at risk via needing excessive attention, we require the child to take one to four quarters off from adventuring and try again when they are ready. (Examples include but are not limited to: daily bathroom mishaps, wandering away from the group, unstable balance and stability, unable to adventure without a parent, etc.)

    All payments and registration forms must be received by our office one week prior to your first trip. Enrollment is officially complete when registration & payment have been received (on next screen). Your spot is secure only after we have received your payment.
