Why do we need signing permission for MK's who are minors (under 19)?
Some of the special activities we participate in during ReBoot require the signing of additional liability and safety forms while on site prior to participation. MK’s who are 19+ can sign on their own behalf. MK’s 18 or younger require the signature of a parent or guardian. To request specific information on what these activities might be please contact Judy Hunter at ReBoot@outreach.ca
