On the black top Administration menu hover on Content management -> Content types -> Outing -> Manage fields and click on Event acknowledgment.

https://wildernesscanoe.ca/admin/content/types/event-purchase/fields/fie...

You will get an edit field page where you can change default values for this field e.g. code, help text etc.

Under Outing settings you can click a plus icon for default value and you will see the active HTML code for that field. Change or update the code and click on a button Save field settings. That will change the field code for newly created Outings.

You can also change the code per Outing simply by editing Event acknowledgment field in that Outing.
