Section 10 of 20
Pertinent expedition information and consent
Outside Perspectives conducts physically demanding courses. There are certain risks to be assumed when participating in activities of a physical nature and the participant may risk personal injury. Outside Perspectives instructors and staff will inform the group of specific safety protocols and will coach participants before each activity. While the expedition can be challenging, it is expected that any person with typical physical and mental abilities can complete the program successfully.

Expedition participants take part in backcountry expeditions that include camping and hiking. You will be sleeping under tarps or in tents (not cabins), and inside of sleeping bags for the entire course unless specified differently by group organizers. You may carry thirty to fifty pound backpacks for an extended period of time, while you are hiking. During the expedition, the group will hike for an average of five miles per day. Expeditions occur in remote areas and in all types of weather including wind, rain, cold, heat and electrical storms. While many precautions are taken to avoid contact with animals, insects and bacteria, environmental hazards include - but are not limited to - potential exposure to diseases such as tick or mosquito-borne illnesses (i.e. Lyme Disease) and Giardia.

Due to the physical nature of the activities and the remote locations, it is very important that you inform Outside Perspectives of any and all relevant physical and mental health information, including medications and dietary needs, by filling out the required medical sections of this form. Omitting this information may affect your safety and the safety of others. Outside Perspectives will not exclude a you from an expedition for a health or medical reason unless participation provides an unmanageable risk or burden to instructors, you, or to the group, as determined by Outside Perspectives. Removing barriers to the outdoors is part of the organization's mission.

Outside Perspectives provides ample and nutritious meals prepared by the expedition participants and instructors. All drinking water from natural sources are purified by approved methods such as boiling, filtration, or by chemical (i.e. iodine) treatment prior to consumption. Personal hygiene and self-care methods are limited in a wilderness setting and include cold water clean up unless specified as different. Toilet facilities are latrines and outhouses unless specified as different.

Participants are prohibited from using alcohol and recreational drugs while on course. If you smoke it is an expectation that you remove yourself from the group to do so and you are encouraged to use nicotine patches or gum are while on the expedition instead of cigarettes. Outside Perspectives is a Leave No Trace (LNT) program and it is expected that all participants will carry out all personal trash with them and nothing will be left behind even if it biodegrades. This includes apple cores, orange peels, wet wipes, and cigarette butts. The exception to this is toilet paper if it is properly buried.

Due to the distractions they cause, course goals, and the risk of damage to devices, electronics are not recommended on expeditions; this includes cell phones. Expeditions are an opportunity to unplug and detach. Outside Perspectives encourages participants to challenge themselves to take advantage of this opportunity and find out the many benefits time away from screens can have. There is an expectation that phones will be turned off throughout the course and not be used at during activities, group time or reflective time. Please communicate with instructors about exceptions that may be needed while on course. Outside Perspectives' staff will carry cell phones for emergencies or other unforeseen circumstances that require communication.  

Outside Perspectives is a challenge by choice program, which means participants ultimately have the freewill to decide to participate in the program and any activity that may be presented. However, once you have committed to the expedition, you will be strongly encouraged to finish unless there are unforeseen or unexpected circumstances.
I have read and understand the information above including that course may be physically challenging, take place in a remote setting, and be primitive in nature. I also understand the expectations around electronics. With these understandings I willingly agree to attend this expedition with Outside Perspectives Inc.
