When you participate in one of these activities, you should be both physically and mentally prepared and equipped with the appropriate gear. You should always be aware of the risks involved in outdoor activities and conduct yourself accordingly. The trip leader is not responsible for your safety, you are. Prior to registering for any activity, you are encouraged to discuss your capabilities with the trip leader. To participate in Club and Chapter activities, individuals under 18 years of age must be accompanied by a parent or responsible adult, or obtain prior consent from the trip leader.
Persons accompanying a minor are responsible for the minor's actions.
Transportation to Events M any of our members, of course, have cars and have little trouble driving to the meeting location for an event. However, a large number of our members live in New York City where it may be impossible for them to have a car. After they get to know people, they can often car pool to an event. But as a convenience to our urban dwellers, the Chapter offers many events that are accessible by public transportation. Participants can get on a bus or train somewhere in the city, and the meeting place is at a bus stop or train station someplace in the outskirts of the metropolitan area.
