📢 Important Update for Families Visiting The ARK Community Center

Beginning Monday, June 8, 2026, all minors (under the age of 18) must have a parent or legal guardian present for their initial account setup in our new check-in system.

During this first visit, the parent/guardian will need to:
✅ Create the minor's account information
✅ Complete and sign the required liability waiver
✅ Ensure emergency contact information is accurate

Please note: Only youth ages 15–17 may use the facility without a parent or guardian present after their account has been set up and all required forms have been completed.

Children under the age of 15 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian while using the facility.

These updates help us maintain a safe environment, accurate records, and the best possible experience for everyone who visits The ARK Community Center.

If you have any questions, please contact us or stop by the front desk. Thank you for your cooperation and support!
