  1. General Assumption of Risk Waiver: You automatically sign this when you register. However, if you are under the age of 18, you must submit an additional copy signed by your parent/guardian. You can pick up a physical copy from the Nest Gear Shop or download a copy and print it yourself by clicking the link below.

2. Health Form: *NEW in 2025* For all first-time participants on Outdoor Wellness programs as well as returning participants who haven’t filled out a health form in over a year, you must fill out our required health form. You only have to complete this form once a year, unless you have any updates to your health information (ex. new medications, recent hospitalizations, injuries, etc.). For those under the age of 18, you must obtain a parent/guardian signature prior to turning in your form. You can pick up a physical copy in the Nest Gear Shop or download a copy and print it yourself by clicking the link below.
