*Who’s Invited: Members Only / Members & Guests
You can decide if you will let members bring additional guests, if so, you must include numbers below in the “Maximum Guests Size” and “Maximum # Guests per Member”

*Attendee Screening: Attendees are Pre-Screened / Registration is First-Come/First-Serve
If you chose pre-screening, people who sign up for your trip will go automatically to the wait list and you will need to chose your participants and actively move them onto
your participant list. This is necessary if your trip involves a payment, or if you wish to screen participants. If you chose first-come, first-serve, anyone who signs up will
automatically be placed as a participant on the trip until the spots you have designated are full.

*Age Restriction:
Relevant if you do not want responsibility for minors – minors can only be included when they have a parent present on the trip.
