Safety Guidelines for Outside Activities
Purpose: To identify and classify the level of fitness and ability members need to take part safely in physically active outdoor activities.
Goal: To prevent injuries and provide safety.
Each of our outdoor activities will be identified by the following Classification System:
Easy: Strolling pace, a few steps or slight inclines. Well delineated path/paved road.
Moderate: Some stairs and hills. Possible slippery rocks and tree roots.
Hard: A good physical challenge! May include steep inclines/declines and length over 3 miles.
Note: Our hike leaders may not have the professional background to provide assessments of injuries or treatment on site. Some may have medical background, but others are simply sharing their love of the outdoors. The liaisons expect that anyone with a disability or chronic pain issue identify themselves prior to the event so it can be determined if the event is appropriate for them. The liaison will not allow any member with an injury or health issue to head back to their car alone. We will try to always have two liaisons, one available to continue on with the group, and the other to go back with the person who desires to turn back. Proper outdoor footwear and trekking poles are always recommended.
