Essential Eligibility Criteria: GSHCC programs provide an inclusive environment to all girls. Please reference our general Essential Eligibility Criteria for details about classroom and outdoor-focused activities that will help you identify the skills needed to participate in programs successfully. This activity has additional Essential Eligibility Criteria, including: Work effectively as a member of a team, despite potentially stressful and difficult conditions. Expedition living is in close quarters with limited personal time. There can be a lack of, or variable, daily routines which will likely change day-to-day. Expedition living may require problem solving in a group setting, as well as a willingness to accept differences. Contribute to a safe learning environment. No verbal or physical inappropriate behavior towards others is tolerated for any reason. Willingly and equally share responsibility with tent/cabin mates in daily group chores. Chores may be split differently each day, but all participants will complete a proportionate share. All participants are learning the skills and being challenged by the conditions and activities. There can be no expectation that any other participant will be able to continually assume a greater share of the work or that an instructor can continually focus a greater share of their energy and time on one student. Effectively communicate ideas and concerns on an individual and group level. Please contact customer care if you are unsure whether or not you meet the criteria, or if you need a reasonable accommodation.
Registration: A minimum of 28 registered participants are required to hold this event. In the event that the minimum is not met, you will be notified before the event date, and a full refund will be processed.
