* A liability waiver will be required on the day of the event. An allergy questionnaire and form with kids names & ages will be sent to you.* It will be in google doc format, but can be sent as a regular email with the information needed if you prefer.
* Event may be cancelled between 2 days prior and 10 am the morning OF THE EVENT in the case of rain; if cancellation must occur, you will have the option to leave it as a credit for a future sanctuary event, transferred to the next Pigs & Kids on 11/2 (same time), or offered as a donation to the sanctuary. When signing up, be sure to include the best phone number options to call or text if a last minute cancellation is necessary.
Accessibility note- parking and the sanctuary land is all level. The hike/scavenger hunt is on trails with some muddy areas and tree roots to navigate. There is no bathroom on ground level, bathroom has a minimum of 6 steps (no hand rails.) A Meijer store is 5 minutes away and has accessible bathrooms.
We reserve the right to deny access to anyone treating others with disrespect. Questions are normal as we explore, learn and experience the animals and activities together but outright comments of violence or cruelty will not be tolerated.
Dominion Sanctuary is a 501(c)(3) non-profit animal sanctuary on a 12 acre property in Sparta. We are about 5 min. north of the Rockford Meijer store right on Pine Island just north of Fonger.
