I confirm that I have no physical or mental condition which would endanger myself or others if I participate in any event at Millican Reserve, or which would interfere with my ability to participate in any activities at Millican Reserve.

I agree I will only enter Millican Reserve with the limited and revocable written permission of Millican or under the supervision of a Program Partner, and I will abide by any rules promulgated by Millican.
