Yes, it does rain occasionally in the desert. All programs are held at the mercy of Mother Nature, and we do seek shelter in our Visitor Center conference rooms when necessary. We suggest you dress appropriately for seasonal weather, including plenty of sun protection. Read the class description closely for details. You must provide your own camping gear and food.
Camping is available in the park.
While every effort is made to prevent mishaps, you must assume full responsibility for your own safety and accident insurance. You will be asked to sign a liability waiver upon arrival at class. Outdoor classes involve walking and contact with the environment. Participants must be in good physical condition for moderate walks in a desert that may be predictably hot and dry, and sometimes surprisingly cold. Children under 16 must be accompanied by an adult.
