This course will be held outside and will be subject to a variety of weather conditions. Please dress according to the weather. If you are unsure how to dress please contact me. You will have to enter/exit/spend time in water so make sure you are comfortable and choose your immersion gear appropriately. It is recommended to wear wetsuits or drysuits unless it turns out to be super warm. In the past students have rented wetsuits from Glacier Rafting and been glad that they did :)
Evacuation Policy:
Occasionally, we need to evacuate a participant from the program due to health or other concerns; in this event, you are responsible for all costs associated with the evacuation. Depending on the urgency of the situation, we will either arrange for transportation through local resources or through the emergency medical service.
