• TRIP PROGRAM OVERVIEW
  Thank you for your participation in the Outdoor Adventure Trip Program.  Our trips range from a full day to a week long with varying levels of difficulty.  Due to the unpredictable nature of Outdoor Adventure trips, we feel it is important you are well informed and prepared for a variety of situations.  Some of these situations will require flexibility.  All trips no matter the length will require participants to be engaged in the overall execution of the trip. This will require teamwork and respect on all parties. It is important to keep in mind that the trip schedule and activities are contingent upon each participant being on time.   
  
• COMMITMENT
  All of our trips require a physical and emotional commitment from participants.  Staff may prepare you for some of the hardships you might face but it is up to each participant to decide to commit him or herself to appropriate challenges which may include being exposed to extreme weather, engaging in strenuous activities, and being in uncomfortable situations. 
  
• SAFETY
  Precautions will be made to ensure utmost safety for all trips.  It is important for all participants to inform the Trip Lead, or Outdoor Adventure Coordinator of any pertinent medical information by the completion of the medical form.  If you have a specific medical condition that requires prescription medication, it is your responsibility to have ample supplies on the trip.  In addition, the consumption of alcohol and tobacco products is not permitted on any trip.  Failure to comply with this policy can result in a referral to the Office of Student Conduct and / or being sent home at your expense.
  
• TRIP FEES
  Trip deposit or the total cost is required to hold a spot on the trip roster.  Full payment for trips is required by the trip sign-up deadline posted for the trip or your spot will be given to someone on the waiting list. 
  
• REFUNDS
  No refunds will be given after the trip sign-up deadline regardless of reason.  Failure to be on time for trip departure will result in complete forfeiture of all payments. 
  
• PRE-TRIP MEETING
  All trip participants are REQUIRED to attend a pre-trip meeting.  Participants are required to sign an assumption of risk and release of liability form at the pre-trip meeting.  Outdoor Adventure makes every effort to hold pre-trip meetings at times that are convenient for most students.  If a legitimate excuse arises (class) you must schedule an appointment to meet with the Trip Lead or Outdoor Adventure Coordinator prior to the pre-trip meeting.  Failure to attend the pre-trip meeting will forfeit your spot and your deposit.     
          
• REQUIRED EQUIPMENT
  Some trips may require you to purchase or rent certain items such as clothing, and/or gear.  They are not limited to but may include:  tents, sleeping bag, boots, wool hats, synthetic clothing, gloves, rain gear, etc.  We will provide some items that are essential to the trip.  These items will be discussed at the pre-trip meeting.

• Surveillance System : Camera Policy AGREEMENT

  The Recreation and Wellness Center (RWC) recognizes the need to strike a balance between the individual's right to be free from invasion of privacy and the institution's duty to promote a safe environment for all community members.

  The purpose of video surveillance in the Recreation and Wellness Center (RWC) is to:

  1. Promote a safe environment by deterring acts of harassment or assault.

  2. Deter theft and vandalism and assist in the identification of individuals who commit damage to Recreation and Wellness Center (RWC) property.

  3. Assist law enforcement agencies with regard to the investigation of any crime that may be depicted.

  4. Assist in the daily operations of the Recreation and Wellness Center (RWC).

  Signs will be posted in appropriate areas, either at the entrance to the area under surveillance (e.g. on the entrance gate to the pool or building) or in close proximity to the camera informing the general public of the usage of video surveillance on campus.

  At no time will persons other than those designated by the Director of the Recreation & Wellness Center have access to the monitors or to the recordings made in the course of the surveillance. Personal information contained on the recordings shall not be used or disclosed for purposes other than those for which it was collected, except with the consent of the individual or as required by law.

  The focus of cameras used in video surveillance in the Recreation and Wellness Center will not cover areas where there is an expectation of privacy.
