Non-Young Life groups use a Third Party Guest Reservation Agreement sent by email from the Beyond Malibu Office, available online to view terms. Non-Young Life groups affiliated with an organization need to provide proof of insurance following this sample ACORD Form. You will also need to fill out and bring an "A-Form" that serves as a roster and invoice.
Due to the physical element of a Beyond Malibu trip, a physical exam and a physician's signature on Young Life's Health and Consent form within 12 months of participating is REQUIRED for all participants and leaders. Signed physicals for school or other programs will not suffice. For safety purposes, it is very important that all forms are clear, thorough, printed out in their entirety, and turned into the trip coordinator prior to camp dates. Thank you for your attention to these details!
All health forms for YL groups are online, and can be found here. Additionally, participants forms must:
1) Be complete with a physician's signature on the physician's signature page.
2) Have the physician's signature page faxed to the number on the page.
3) Be printed out and physically brought to Beyond Malibu.
Print either the Backpacking Physician Cover Letter or Sea Kayaking Physician Cover Letter and present to your physician at your physical exam along with the Camping Health, Consent and Release Form and physician signature page.
A complete YL Camping Individual Health and Consent Form is required for all non-Young Life participants. Below, choose what type of health form packet you will need based off of your type of trip. Please bring the form to a physical exam and have the physician review and sign the form. After completion, turn your form into your trip leader. More detailed instructions can be found in our participant guides linked above.
Before departing for Beyond Malibu, your form should:
According to best practices for British Columbia adventure camps, our Guides will take possession of and dispense all prescription medications for participants 18 and under, except emergency medications such as inhalers and/or EPI pens. Our guides have completed Wilderness Advanced First Aid training and follow guidelines established by our Medical Director regarding the handling, administration, and documentation of prescription medications.
Parents are responsible for ensuring that their child has an adequate supply of needed prescription medications for the entire duration of this adventure, including travel time to and from Beyond Malibu. Medications must be in their original container with the pharmacist’s label. Prescription medications not in their original container with the pharmacist’s label (such as a daily pill box) are not acceptable. Label all over-the-counter meds with the camper’s full name and place them in a Ziploc-type bag. If your minor is prescribed an EPI pen for severe allergic reactions, Beyond Malibu requires each person to carry at least 2 EPI pens while on a Beyond Malibu Adventure.
We take food allergies and dietary restrictions very seriously. If anyone on the trip has an allergy or dietary concern, our office needs to know so we can best serve your camper and keep them safe and healthy. Please communicate to Beyond Malibu any food allergies or dietary restrictions in your group at least THREE weeks before your trip. There is a Questionnaire in the options below.
This only applies to groups traveling from outside Canada.
Malibu and Beyond Malibu Border Crossing Consents - specific instructions concerning this form will be emailed to the trip coordinator prior to the trip (or can be found here). Must be signed by a parent or guardian and it gives the designated trip leader permission to travel with those under 19. A sample form is included in each participant guide.
What type of border identification you need is determined by whether your group is crossing the Canadian border by air or ground, as well as the participant's age:
