Pre – registration is REQUIRED prior to class for those classes that have an Assistant fee. It is recommended that assistants sign up the same time as they sign up their participants.

• To purchase an admission ticket for you. If you are not registered, a ticket will not be purchased for you.
• If you would like a seat on the bus for a trip, we need to know you are going. In order to accommodate wheelchairs and walkers, a bus with a lift is usually taken which is a small bus. Seats on a bus are given to only those who have registered.
Plays: Arrive a minimum of 15 minutes before the start of the play in order for all to be seated before the play starts. We want to be courteous of other patrons. Tickets for events are purchased up to a month in advance. Keep this in mind and avoid registering last minute as there may not be a ticket available for you.
Trips: Register at the same time as participants to ensure the correct number of tickets are purchased and a bus is ordered.
Please arrive at least 15 minutes ahead of time to allow for boarding and a punctual departure time.
PARTICIPANTS: Project Challenge participants need to pay the class fee only.
A late fee will be charged for late pick-ups ($5/15 min.) payable at the time of pick-up.
For Project Challenge ticketed events such as plays and sporting events/games, refunds will not be issued if a class participant requests a cancellation once the registration deadline has passed (if one is indicated in the class description).
Project Challenge does not provide one-on-one support to individuals participating in classes. If individual support is required for successful participation in our programming, this must be provided by a personal assistant/staff.
