PLEASE NOTE: Capacity is limited; participants MUST be pre-registered (using link below) in order to partake. Each adult must register individually in order to complete the required waivers.

Registration full but would like to still participate? Please contact Kimani Keaton at to be added to our waitlist. Parents/guardians must complete registration for individuals 18 and under.
