Safety and Risk Management:

Due to the nature of outdoor travel there are certain inherent risks in all of Outdoor Adventure’s trips.  Acceptable risks include but are not limited too; hiking over rough uneven terrain with a backpack on, hiking up and down steep inclines with muddy and loose footing, crossing creeks and swampy ground, and having wet feet and clothing.  Conditions may include below freezing temperatures, thunderstorms, rain, snow, sleet and high winds.  Driving risks may include slick roads, poor visibility and wildlife.  AVÀÇÂÛ̳ is a wild place - you need to take ultimate responsibility for your own safety as only you can. For your protection we require you to carry health insurance.  You can purchase insurance for $2.60/day from the University (ask for details).
