If there is a waiting list and we are able to find a student to take your place, we will refund your money unless a penalty is incurred by the airline or other vendor. If there is a medical emergency, we will make every effort to refund your money. Unless it's noted, all courses are for beginners. Some courses combine options for students with different skill levels where experienced people have new options and beginners are introduced to the course skills. Though it's hard to predict the ages of students who will register in a class, the average age of students participating in our classes has been around 35 years old.
Different courses have different equipment needs.
Students must provide their own personal gear and food for most camping trips. In this situation, your down payment will guarantee your space. Students are not able to register for the actual credit course before their regular registration appointment. All lead instructors must be experienced teachers who have experience both in the classroom and in leading field experiences. We are committed to using only certified Lead Instructors whenever a commonly accepted certification exists.
