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 to: flipping a canoe, getting wet while on the trip, and
unpredictable weather. We will wear PFD’s at all times on the water. Conditions may include below freezing
temperatures, thunderstorms, rain, sleet and high winds. Driving risks may include slick roads, poor visibility
and wildlife. Alaska 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). All info is subject to change due to safety, weather, current conditions,
etc.!
