My insurance company requires every adult on the trip to sign this participation agreement. This means if two adults are going on the trip, EACH must open and sign a separate agreement. All minors (less than 18 years old) must be listed on the Trip Leader’s participation agreement, but don’t need to sign. So for a family of four with 2 adults and 2 children, 2 signed agreements are required – one from the Trip Leader including the 2 minors and one from the second adult.
