Emergency Medical Care Each participant’s registration form requires an authorization for emergency medical care should an emergency occur when the parent/guardian cannot be located immediately. Exceptions to providing this authorization are limited to the parent/guardian stating in writing, an objection to the provision of such care on religious or other grounds. Behavior PRCS focuses on safety, teamwork, respect, and responsibility. All participants and families are expected to follow the PRCS Code of Conduct.
