From April 2-8 we will accept registrations from full-trip registrants only. This is being done to ensure that people who wish do the full trip don’t miss out on the first two days, which fill up very quickly. Registration for all other participants will open April 9!
To register please visit: https://www.regonline.com/registration/Checkin.aspx?EventID=2265900 After registering, you will still need to download several waivers and medical forms that must be filled out and mailed in with original signatures.

If you do not wish to register online, please download both a mail-in registration form & a confirmation form.

This option is for full-trippers only and there are a limited number of spaces available. The daily shuttle is still included automatically.
