All youth and teens registering for SUUSI must be under the supervision of a legally responsible adult. Youth/teens who attend SUUSI without their legal guardian must have an adult (over 21) who is willing to be their guardian at SUUSI. Adults may not serve as a guardian for more than two youths/teens for whom they are not the legal guardian. Guardianship forms must be signed and notarized by the legal guardian.
We need someone to be responsible for youth at all times. If the responsible adult registers for a Workshop or Nature trip that meets off-campus when Youth programming is not scheduled, you must designate a responsible adult on campus. Please inform the Youth staff and post your daily schedule on your room door at SUUSI, so we know which adult to contact regarding Youth (newborn-13 years old) at all times.
Important: To confirm the age of participants in the Teen program, a notarized (yes, notarized) copy of a birth certificate or a driver’s license is required for all new participants. This documentation must accompany registration forms. No exceptions.
We also need a statement from the legal guardian for each youth/teen, authorizing the guardian at SUUSI to sign medical release forms if necessary. This authorization must be included with the youth/teen’s registration. These forms must be notarized before they are mailed. Teens (ages 14-17) registering for the Teen Dorm must check the appropriate box in Section B of the registration form – and you’re encouraged to write in the name of your proposed roommate, if you’ve made such arrangements.
All teens staying in the Teen Dorm must pay for a bed (even if everyone decides to crash on the floor during SUUSI). The SUUSI Teen-Parent Agreement Form must be completed and signed by both teen and parent and submitted with registration forms. New this year: Teens and parents must both sign if they want their teen to be housed on the co-ed dorm floor.
