Letter from Amanda (consent form must be signed)

Dear parents and youth –

We are very excited to have you at NexGen next week.  A few things that we wanted everyone to know.
1) We will be going off site on Saturday to a surf leadership program.  3 waivers are needed.  Two are attached to this email and another is at this link
Without these 3 waivers being completed and turned in Friday or Saturday your youth will not be able to go on Saturday
2) We will be leaving the hotel by 9am.  Please have your child check in by 830am so they can get breakfast, signed in etc.
3) Each youth should bring an age appropriate bathing suit, a cover up, sun screen, a hat, a change of clothes and a towel.  We will be gone all day but will have frequent water, food and activities both in and out of the water.
4) If you do not come with us Saturday off site there are NO alternative activities for teens
5) Friday will be engaging and fun, two speakers that will have the teens up out of their seats, interactive and discussing life skills in a fun and interesting way.  Please encourage your youth to attend.
If you have any questions or concerns please do not hesitate to contact me today or during the event at 352-214-6300.  For more information on Urban Surf 4 Kids feel free to look at their website – http://www.urbansurf4kids.org
