2025 ACA Waiver (Coming Soon): Complete once per year if you have an ACA Annual Membership, otherwise it needs to be completed for each program/event.
NEW for 2025: To participate in events at Wausau Whitewater, in addition both to signed waivers an ACA Membership (annual or event membership) is required. Effective immediately, Wausau Whitewater will no longer be renewing ACA Annual Memberships. Purchase or renew your ACA Annual Membership through the ACA website.

When registering at the course, be prepared to present proof of valid ACA Membership including a valid expiration date, in the form of the physical card, photo of the physical card or screenshot of the digital card from the ACA’s website.
