    Please be mindful of registration closing dates. Registrations will not be accepted
    after an outing’s closing date, and registration may close sooner if capacity is
    reached. Easter Seals encourages interested participants to apply quickly for
    outings that require tickets or that have a smaller maximum allowed. A Respite
    Supervisor will contact you upon receiving your registration and will let you know if
    you have secured a spot in the outing.

    If you are not registered for an outing, staff will not know to expect you and
    therefore may not be waiting for you. Keeping your safety in mind, BE SURE YOU
    ARE REGISTERED FOR AN OUTING BEFORE ATTENDING.
