Changes in insurance rules make it necessary for us to expand our requirements for parental consent. We now need to have a copy of the parental consent form on file. In addition, some children will only be allowed to participate when accompanied by an authorized adult. We hope these changes to our parental consent policy don't cause difficulties for anyone.

Additional points:
