PARTICIPANT REQUIREMENTS
St. Olaf has published specific requirements for each Alumni & Family Travel tour. You are responsible for reviewing the specific requirements for your tour and judging the appropriateness of these travel activities to your physical, mental and behavioral capabilities. 

Movement on this tour will be by several modes: on foot, public bus, bullet train, and Tokyo subway. Movement within each city and at cultural/historic sites will be on foot, requiring a lot of walking and standing. You should be capable of walking up to five miles per day over possibly uneven terrain, of climbing stairs that may not have handrails, of climbing in and out of various types of transportation, of keeping pace with an active group of travelers on long days of traveling, of dealing with the emotional highs and lows that can occur when experiencing different cultures, and of traveling with a group for several hours each day.

The weather is likely to be hot and humid. As mentioned, there will be a lot of walking and we will be in crowds in Tokyo especially.

We recommend you be fully vaccinated against COVID-19, including any recommended boosters for your age or health group, before departure.

Any participant who is unable to fulfill the participant requirements may have their registration cancelled. Any participant who has demonstrated an inability, in the opinion of the tour leader or host, of keeping up with the group or of safely participating in tour activities may be prohibited from participating in certain activities. 
I acknowledge that I can meet these participant requirements and keep up with the group. (If you mark no, the Travel director will be in touch to discuss your situation.) *
DIETARY NEEDS
We can accommodate most dietary needs, as listed in the checkboxes below. Special dietary preferences such as low salt or "I only drink Diet Coke" cannot be guaranteed, but will certainly be accommodated to the best of our ability. The more specific you are, the more I can work to make them happen. 
Dietary Needs *
Required
HEALTH INSURANCE
While the program fee includes a great deal of illness and injury coverage, we require information about additional insurance coverage.
I understand that my health insurance provider may not cover me outside the United States. I stipulate that I have sufficient health, accident, disability and hospitalization insurance to cover myself during my participation in the program.
*
I have read and understand the health information and participant requirements and confirm that I am capable of fulfilling the participant requirements, and that I will be  responsible for my own insurance and my own health and safety. I understand that if St. Olaf College needs further information about my health condition(s) in order to assure that I may safely participate in the Alumni & Family Travel tour or to fulfill the program requirements, I may be asked to provide a physician’s certification.
