We discourage frequent phone calls home since this often disrupts the flow of group life and travel. Leaders will accompany students to the phones once a week so they can call home and will stay close by in order to address any questions or concerns. We place the highest value on the safety of our participants and our staff. We have a Risk Management Committee who, along with our staff, meets to discuss any and all safety issues that concern our organization and the industry as a whole. However, the needs of a student with any medical condition that might interfere with physical ability, safety, etc. must be discussed with one of the Directors prior to enrolling to be sure we can safely meet the needs of the student.
Parents are responsible for the above costs.
In order to establish a positive group experience, two reference names and addresses are required at the time of application. In addition, all students will have a phone interview with our staff prior to acceptance. After you have been enrolled on your trip, you will receive a Student Information Packet that contains clothing and equipment lists, forms and information you'll need in order to prepare for your trip. Please contact our office for a scholarship application and more information. Although every effort is made not to cancel, we also reserve the right to cancel any trip prior to the departure date.
