Supervision of minors

Participants under the age of 18 must be accompanied by an adult for the ENTIRE tour. If a minor decides not to zip all or part of the course, they must be accompanied by an adult once off the course. Any minors in the group must still have an adult with them on the tour.

There are bathrooms available just before you go up on the course and available as soon as the tour is completed, but there are no bathrooms breaks during the tour. This is a very common question but we have never had any ‘accidents’!

Are tours cancelled due to weather?

We will zip in the rain. Rain does not affect the safety of the activity. Guests that do not show up for a tour due to imperfect weather (eg. rain, cold, cloud etc.) will not be issued a refund. We will only cancel tours for unsafe weather (thunder, lightning or high winds in the area) and guests will be offered a refund or the chance to reschedule. Ozone Zipline Adventures at YMCA Camp Kern reserves the right to cancel tours due to inclement weather, foreseeable hazards, or events beyond our control. In these events, we will do our best to re-book your tour immediately or provide a 24 month gift certificate for you to re-book. If a tour is cut short due to weather then a partial refund will be given.

My friends want to come but aren't purchasing a tour.  Is there a place for them to watch?

We are unable to accommodate additional, non-zipping guests on our tour. The course travels through the forest canopies and back and forth across the Little Miami River, and therefore is not suitable for spectating. Only guests with reservations will be allowed on the main camp property.
