Emergency Number:  Call the regular Adventures in Missions number (770-983-1060).  The emergency line will be available to you through the receptionist or through an option on the voicemail menu.  The emergency line is monitored 24/7.  This is for true emergencies only (e.g., a death in the family) – not to see if Racers have arrived at a location, to find out why you haven’t heard from them, etc.

 

Starting Point:  Download the WR Parents’ Guide.  It will answer a lot of your basic questions.  www.worldrace.org/parents
