I want to participate in this activity with my 3 sons - the eldest is almost 14, so he would be so he would be considered an "adult" and the younger 2 will be age 10. So I don't have 1 adult per child under age 12. Could this still work?
Suellen, 05 Oct 2023
Hello Suellen, thank you for reaching out to Seek Sophie. I understand your situation, and it's great that you want to participate with your three sons. Typically, activities classify children as "adults" or "children" based on age, with 12 often being the cut-off age. You can choose 2 adults for yourself and your 14-year-old son and then 2 children for both of your 10-year-old sons. This way, you can all participate in the activity together without any issues. If you have any further questions, please feel to email us at chat@seeksophie.com :) Hope that helps!
