All of our courses are taught by experienced instructors. Our staff have current certification in first aid and CPR as well as years of leading youth programs and/or wilderness camping experience.

Confirmations and medical forms
You will receive a confirmation letter indicating your registration within two to three weeks. A medical form, if required, will be sent to you with your confirmation. Please fill out and return the medical form by the required date. Your child may not participate without this form.

Cancellations and refunds
If after you’ve registered you need to cancel, please notify the contact on your registration confirmation as soon as possible. For cancellations five or more business days prior to the class, a full refund (minus a $5 processing fee) will be issued. Refunds cannot be issued for cancellations less than five business days or missed classes. Many programs will allow you to send an alternate participant if you are unable to attend.
