Groups are limited to a maximum of 8 participants with a minimum of two experienced leaders per group. This small group size allows for a more personalized experience and for the leaders to pour more time into each individual participant.
All equipment and food will be provided for each participant. The only things each young person will need to bring is their own clothing, personal hygiene supplies, and a willingness to push themselves beyond their perceived boundaries.

11
Can I bring a friend?
Yes! We highly encourage inviting friends to join you on your adventure. Be sure that they have contacted us and registered beforehand, as our trips are limited in size!
12
Can I bring my cell phone?
As of 2021, we now allow cell phones on a limited basis, primarily for photos, as 99% of the time we are outside of cell coverage. Leaders do have a satellite phone for emergencies. Should a participant find it challenging to stay away from the cell phone, the leaders may retrieve and carry those.

What do you do if there is an emergency?
All of our guides are first aid certified and at least one of the guides per trip have their Wilderness First Aid certification or training. They are trained and prepared to handle emergencies in the field.

What about taking photos?
Each trip attendee will need to sign a photo release form as our leaders have great cameras and take a lot of pictures. After the trip, each attendee will get access to the trip photos. Also, as stated above, participants can now bring their personal cell phones to take photos.
15
Will I be able to talk with my child while they are on the trip?
The short answer is no. If there are any emergencies, leaders will have a satellite phone but it is for emergencies only.
