To participate in the class, you MUST complete the waiver BEFORE attending. There’s no service at the park, and service is spotty on the drive, so it is best to do this before you leave your house. Once you complete the waiver one time, you are good to go. If you’ve complete the waiver in previous years, it is still valid. https://activeswv.org/membership-sign-up/
