How do you keep campers safe?
While no outdoor adventure activity is completely risk-free, we have a deep commitment to safety. One of the biggest focuses is teaching campers good judgment, and how to assess the risks associated with the environment, the activities, and their actions. Then, how can we mitigate these risks as best as possible so they have a great experience? Along with this, we provide new, top-of-the-line equipment and best practices for safety systems for all of our activities.
We encourage kids to take well-communicated, calculated risks and approach challenges with intelligence and information—skills useful not just at camp, but in all aspects of their lives. Learn more about
our approach to safety and safety​ statistics or review our Risks & Release form in the registration process for more information on our activities, their risks, and participant and parent responsibilities.
