Digital check in allows you to complete all the necessary paperwork prior to arrival in the app – electronic release of liability, emergency contact information, and allergy and special concern information.

The photo features are designed with privacy and security in mind. This means photos will be taken only of you or your child and never shared with others. Also, photos will be contained only within the app and stored securely (not directly on an instructor’s device).

In addition to providing a world-class lesson experience, instructors will be assessing and logging new skills learned across different types of terrain and runs. At the end of the lesson, your skills progression tracking is analyzed and displayed over time.
