Adventure Camp Special Notes
After registration you will be emailed a packet with papers that need to be signed and returned to The Clark Sports Center Adventure Department. Participants will need a signed waiver on file along with camp paperwork. Please make sure the correct email is up to date in Club Automation to receive paperwork. All paperwork will be sent out 30 days prior to camp. If you have not received paperwork please email Heather Henderson.
Our camps do not meet the definition of children’s camps under New York State regulations; therefore, they are not regulated by the NYS Department of Health.
Assumption of Risk Form
An Assumption of Risk waiver form is required and must be signed by a parent or guardian for all camp participants (members and non-members). The form must be completed and submitted to the Sports Center two weeks in advance of the camp start date. Members who have not updated their waiver recently may be asked to complete a new one.
