3. Eligibility & Minors
Our events are open to individuals of all ages, including minors. However, if you are under the age of 16, participation in events and inclusion in any photos or videos requires prior parental or legal guardian consent, as detailed in our Privacy Policy.
During registration, the forms will prompt for the parent/guardian’s contact information.
Our staff will contact the listed parent/guardian and request email confirmation of their consent, including their full name and acknowledgment of these Terms and our Privacy Policy.
The registration will only be considered complete once verified parental or guardian consent has been received.

- Cash (in person at designated times/locations)
- Card payment (via SumUp or similar terminal)

Failure to provide valid payment confirmation will not result in cancellation of your registration, but you will be asked by our staff to pay at our event sites.

If we cancel or reschedule an event:
