What To Expect

When booking your adventure, be sure to review all safety, age, height, and weight requirements to ensure the chosen activity fits your group’s needs.

Once the inquiry form (located below) is submitted, our Groups Manager, Erin, will reach out with details, pricing, and steps to confirm your booking. In order to hold a date, a $50 non-refundable deposit is required. The deposit will be applied to the final balance due. Final payment and guest count is due 7 days before arrival.

Erin will work closely with you to create a schedule that ensures maximum fun! Throughout the process, she will be your primary contact for:
- Payment
- Changes in participant numbers
- Waivers
- Schedule adjustments
Upon your group’s arrival, our dedicated team will manage the check-in process.

Each participant will receive a wristband that corresponds to their selected adventures, ensuring access to the appropriate activities. Chaperones are allowed to particpate.

An assigned team member will guide your group to your designated space and review the day’s activities. Depending on your selected adventures, basic safety instructions and rules will be provided before proceeding to the designated adventure area.

For those participating in the ropes course, Ropes Course Guides will assist with harnessing the entire group and conducting a brief ground school training session. Ground school provides guests with instruction and guidance on using the gear effectively, ensuring a safe and successful climbing experience. Once everyone feels confident and comfortable with the equipment, the adventure begins at the starting platform!

For Adventure Island participants, our Bear Paw team will assist with fitting and securing life vests before providing safety instructions and guiding the group to the floating water park.
During your adventure, chaperones may participate in activities, but are required to closely monitor participants to ensure rules are followed. Any individuals breaking the rules will be removed from the activity area. Team members will be available throughout the experience to answer questions and provide assistance as needed.

Groups using Mini Adventure Island, will be required to have one chaperone, per six children, monitoring participants from the beach area.

A lunch break will be built into your schedule, which will be taken in your designated space.

After the adventure concludes, your group will return to the designated space to gather belongings and prepare for departure.

FAQs

Do you have lifeguards?

In order to enhance the safety of our guests, lifeguards will be stationed on the beach and on the Adventure Island water course.

Lifeguard staff will be prominently marked as such and signs will be displayed at the facility marked "Lifeguard on Duty". Lifeguards do not replace the need and requirement for parents/guardians/chaperones to monitor their child's swimming activities at all times. In essence, children under 14 must be supervised by an adult, 18+ years, at all times. Anyone behaving in an unsafe (including the failure to supervise children) or destructive manner will be removed from the swimming area.

What happens if someone does not have a completed waiver?

Any participant without a completed waiver will not be allowed entrance to the Adventure Park.

Do you provide lunch options?

We offer a variety of lunch options for your group! Contact our Groups Manager, Erin, for questions and to view our lunch menu.
