Terms and Conditions

If you would like to cancel your registration, please contact us. Refunds will be issued according to our refund policy.
Waiver
All participants are required to sign a waiver on-site before they can be checked in. If you don’t sign the waiver, you will not be permitted to take part in any water-based activities. Please read the waiver before purchasing your registration as we won’t issue refunds on-site if you refuse to sign the waiver.
Participants under the age of 18 will need to sign an Acknowledgement of Risk with their legal guardian instead of the waiver.
Youth/Minors
Youth/minors are required to have a legal guardian with them during check-in to sign the Acknowledgement of Risk paperwork. A legal guardian is not required to register with the youth/minor to attend, however the youth/minor needs to be responsible for themselves and not require additional supervision from event staff, volunteers, and other participants. Youth/minors should be accompanied by a registered/paying adult or legal guardian if additional supervision or support for the youth/minor is required.
Refunds
Cancellations and refunds are handled on a case-by-case basis. Generally, we will offer a refund if you cancel your registration before the event begins. Processing fees may be applicable to refunds.
If you need to cancel your registration for COVID-19 related reasons, please contact us.
