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; river currents, waves and hydraulics, natural and manmade obstacles in the river, sweepers, logjams, high and low water, and getting wet while on the trip.  We will wear PFD’s at all times on the river and drysuits and helmets when appropriate. Conditions may include below freezing temperatures, thunderstorms, rain, sleet and high winds.  Driving risks may include slick roads, poor visibility and wildlife.  ²ÝÁñÉçÇø 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).
