Generally, if you can climb two sets of stairs and can push a lawn mower, you are athletic and able-bodied enough to be an active participant on our course.

Our staff is thrilled to be able to facilitate your group. We do find it helpful to clarify that, especially for groups of children, we are not the supervisors of your group’s behavior. There need to be sufficient numbers of adults in your group to provide adequate supervision of your minor-aged participants.

In an effort to preserve the group safety and experience as a whole, we reserve the right to ask any participant, whether adult or minor, who exhibits behavior that is unruly, unsafe, or detrimental toward other participants or facilitation staff, to leave the premises.

Consult your doctor before participating. Let our team know of any medical concerns so we can advise on your suitability for the course. Ultimately, your participation in our activities is your own decision.

For safety reasons, we do not recommend participation in our activities while pregnant. Consult your doctor before participating in any activity at Sugar Works Adventure Park at The Villages.
