STUDENTS: Groups (Green, Yellow and Blue) are initially kept artificially low in number to ensure we have sufficient instructors. You may be initially waitlisted, but sign up anyway. Students will be accepted as instructors sign up. Do not sign up for another group just to avoid being waitlisted. Generally anyone who signs up on the first day eventually gets in.
For all attendees: If you are wait-listed, please check your status frequently, as the Registrar will move you off of the wait list as spots open up. With few exceptions, everyone who registers on Day 1 eventually gets accepted, just be patient.
For all participant's safety, NNJR has contracted for the highest level of EMT/ambulance support, which is a significant expense Not all organizations provide this higher level of coverage. We strive to conduct safe and fun events at fair prices.
