| Guests and Guest Passes |
| Guest Passes are available for purchase when the CRC Member Services desk is open. Guest passes may be purchased for immediate use or for future use. To purchase a guest pass for immediate use, both the sponsor and the guest must present ID at the time of purchase and when entering the facility.
To purchase in advance, the sponsor must indicate the desired date, present picture ID and pay for the guest pass. The guest does not need to be present at the time of purchase, but must complete the paperwork and present picture ID when entering the facility with their sponsor.
Guest passes are non-refundable and non-transferable. Sponsors are financially responsible for loss or damage to equipment or facilities committed by their guests, and may be held responsible if their guests fail to comply with facility rules and regulations.
