Membership to Pursuit is free of charge. Becoming a member allows you to sign up for any of our activities as they become available. You’ll also receive our email newsletter so you’ll be the first to know when new activities are added to the calendar.

Steps to Becoming a Member:

  1. Complete our Membership Form here. If there are any issues with your form once we receive it, we’ll reach out to you.

  2. Complete and sign the Liability Waiver and Media Release Form here. You’ll have to complete this before the first activity you attend every year for our records; we’ll remind you when it’s time to do so.
