(scroll down to see schedule) General Guidelines for ADK Outings
Trip Classification and Participant Qualifications. Trip leaders
should screen participants for appropriate skill, equipment and fitness for the
proposed outing. Leaders have the responsibility to decline participation in a
trip by any individual who, in their judgment, may impair the safety of
participants or the objectives of the trip. All trip participants are expected
to sign the ADK Release of Liability form before the outing begins. The trip
leader shall prohibit participation in the outing by any person who refuses to
sign the release.
Participant Conduct. Participants are expected to have a realistic knowledge of their own ability, to select activities within their capabilities and to carry clothing, food, water, and equipment appropriate to the trip. Participants must be willing to accept the authority of the trip leader and to cooperate with him or her and other party members to make the trip safe and enjoyable. Participants should inform the leader if they feel unduly tired or if the trip is exceeding their capability. Concealing such information to avoid embarrassment or other reasons endangers the safety of all participants. A leader may curtail further participation by an individual and amend trip objectives if, in the leader's judgment, the safety of the individual or group requires it. If a trip participant is unable to continue with the trip and must turn back, he or she should be accompanied by at least one other person. Minors participating in GVC-ADK activitiesMinors are welcome to participate in GVC-ADK activities; however the
minor (any person under 18 years of age) must be accompanied by a
parent or legal guardian. If that is not the case, the minor must be
accompanied by a responsible adult who must provide both a for for Release of Liability
Minor form and an Emergency Medical Care
form signed by a parent or legal guardian. These forms are available
here. ** NEW ** Paddle calendarPADDLE CALENDAR We are beginning a switch over to the "Trumba Calendar System" (used by ADK.ORG). The following calendar is used by the main club.
