• No refunds will be issued for waterpark closure once your group has arrived.
• Groups will be given a “safety talk” to review rules upon their first visit for the season.

• Lifeguards are on duty to respond to aquatic emergencies.  Parents, chaperones- you MUST watch your children.
• The actions and conduct of organized groups are the responsibility of the group leaders.  Misconduct of any group member may be considered action by the entire group, and may subject the entire group to the consequences.
• Coast Guard approved lifejackets are recommended for guests under 48” tall and all non-swimmers.  Lifejackets are available first come, first served, free of charge.
• If a member of your camp is pulled from the water or receives any care, they must be released to a camp leader.  Notification may be made to the group representative.
• Safety breaks may be called by waterpark management to facilitate group transition, but it is the group’s responsibility to coordinate exit.  Paging will only be used for emergencies.

Pre-season Safety Meetings are also available upon request- our waterpark staff will meet and review the rules and procedures with your camp staff prior to the season.  Contact the waterpark to schedule your meeting.
