Important Information for Group Leaders and Participants


Notes for Group Leaders:

What We Need From You...

  • Waivers – Make sure all participant waivers are signed (by a parent/legal guardian if under 18). A completed and signed waiver is required for participation.
  • Questionnaires – Questionnaires will be sent via email to help us design a course for your group. Please return the answers at least 2 weeks prior to your course.
  • Participant numbers - Contact us if your numbers have changed.

Providing for Participants...

  • Supervision - Secure supervision. Each group of 8 to 15 must have one adult stay with the group during the entire program who is responsible for group conduct and discipline. The facilitator may dismiss the group if behavior threatens safety.
  • Dividing into groups – Prior to your arrival, divide participants and their signed waivers into groups of 15.  

Information for Drivers...

  • Directions - give a map to your driver.
  • Buses must park outside the parking lot. Parking is limited and there is not enough space for buses to turn around.

Restrooms – our restroom facility is a port-o-potty, please note that there is no running water available.

Come Prepared!
Programs at the Lincoln Marsh Natural Area are held entirely outdoors. There is no indoor facility.
