6. Photography & Media

Hilltop is a shared, public outdoor space, and we love capturing the moments that make this community special. From time to time, staff or authorized partners may take photos or videos for use on our website, social media, and promotional materials.

We aim to be respectful in how we capture and share these moments. If you prefer not to be photographed or recorded, please let a photographer or staff member know and we will do our best to accommodate.

Because Hilltop is a public setting, individuals may still appear incidentally in wide or crowd shots.

For youth programs, photos or videos may be taken during lessons, camps, or events. If a parent or guardian prefers that a participant not be included, please let us know in advance or at check-in.

By visiting Hilltop, you acknowledge that photography and video may occur as part of our efforts to share our community.

7. Accuracy of Information

We do our best to keep information accurate and up to date. However, conditions at Hilltop can change quickly due to weather and operations.

We do not guarantee that all information (including hours, pricing, event details, or terrain status) is always current or error-free.

8. Outdoor Recreation Disclaimer
