participants must indicate any medical or physical conditions that might create special considerations for themselves and others. Physical
strength is not required; although being in good condition will increase your enjoyment of the program activities. If there is any doubt about
your ability to safely participate in the program activities, you should consult your physician prior to submitting this form. This information is
confidential and to the extent allowed by law will only be shared with Outdoor Recreation staff to make your experiences as safe and enjoyable
as possible. Thank you for your full disclosure.
