Please review them with your teen. Bringing illegal weapons (such as guns, switchblades, sharpened box cutters etc..) to an event will result in confiscation of the weapons, expulsion from the event at the earliest practical time, and may also be referred to the appropriate law enforcement authorities.
No teen may attend the Shabbaton without a waiver filled out and signed by a legal guardian.

The medication name, amount of medication, how it administered and the reason you are taking the medication MUST be clearly written on the waiver.
