All ages 6+ are welcome. Any volunteers ages 6-13 should come with a parent/guardian, and ages 14-17 may attend with a permission slip if their parent/guardian is not attending. The below minimum adult to youth ratio must be followed:

  • For ages 6-13, there must be at least 1 adult per 5 youth. A parent or guardian must be present if a child is attending without a group.
  • For ages 14 and older, there must be at least 1 adult per 10 youth.

Students fulfilling requirements and groups of five or more must register at least 1 week in advance.
