Our mentors are trained and responsible leaders and will create an experience that is as safe as possible to avoid injuries. Not withstanding, because of the nature of this program there are risks that could result in injury. Risks include slipping and falling, falling objects, fire, water hazards, exhaustion, hyperthermia, sunburn, insect bites, hazardous plant life, sharp knives, and improper lifting or carrying.
