Adverse Conditions

Adverse environmental conditions can occur during the program (i.e. cold, wet, or snowy conditions).  A gear list is provided and students must come prepared with the necessary gear.  

Many items may be available for use upon request such as rain gear, fleece layers, sleeping bags, sleeping pads, etc. etc.  All group gear is provided such as tents, cook stoves, food, and more.  

“It’s really apparent on the ropes course, but I’m realizing that it’s so often our fear that holds us back in life as well.”
