All participants on Sierra Club outings are required to sign a
standard liability waiver. If you would like to read the liability
waiver before you chose to participate on an outing, please go to
individual liability waiver.
Outing leaders, please download, print out, and have all
participants sign the sign-in waiver
sheet. We also suggest you print out and bring extra copies of the
individual liability waiver
sheets. The individual liability waiver covers all events, so once
an individual has signed this waiver, they do not need to sign it
again for other outings.
