INFORMATION GUIDE

2017

Welcome to the Trailblazer program!

Parents play a huge role in their child’s success. Parents also play a huge role in helping their child have a successful Summer Expedition Camp, too!

Our adventure camp for Trailblazers, kids ages 10 - 14 years old, is for really keen kids, or kids who have experience in camping, hiking or kayaking (experience is not required, though, we will teach them everything they need to know), and are looking for a real challenge: both physically and mentally - as well as a memorable summer experience!

While we do love getting kids outside, we also respect that this camp may not be for everyone. This camp is the most challenging kids camp we offer, so please be sure that both you and your child understand what it’s about, and that everyone is on board and excited to be a part of it!

This document contains all the information you need to help your child have a great time with us this summer. Please read it very carefully, and if you do have questions, please contact us directly.

Thank you for your interest in the Trailblazer program and we look forward to meeting your Trailblazer!

INFORMATION GUIDE

2017

Please note that although we outline very strict policies, that we will always work with your child to help them find success. If you have questions about the policy and how it affects your Trailblazer, please contact us directly.

Terms and conditions: There is a 48-hour booking blocker on all kids programs. Please call for program availability inside of 48 hours.Refunds may be given before May 31, 2017 less a $150 administration fee. There are no refunds after May 31, 2017.Transfer to another participant is possible, but left at the discretion of Hoodoo Adventures. Please contact us directly if you would like to transfer your spot to another participant. All transfers require 14 days notice.

Cancellations: Our camps run rain or shine. In the event of extreme weather or unsafe conditions, and at the sole discretion of Hoodoo Adventures, we may change the camp location or modify the program in order to assure participant safety. If we need to cancel the program (or a part of the program) for any reason we will be in touch with you directly.

Shuttles:Much of our programming focuses on being outside, and some of it requires transportation to and from different trailheads or other wilderness locations. Transportation is a significant part of our programming. If you are uncomfortable with allowing your child to be transported in our vehicles, then they may be denied participation to the program on days requiring it. We will not extend refunds or credits to participants who refuse transportation at their discretion.Our company employs licensed, class-4 drivers and holds appropriate insurance and licensing permits required to operate our transport vehicles: a mini-van and a 10-passenger bus. Safety is always first and foremost at Hoodoo Adventures: if your child requires a child seat, you are required to provide it at the start of the program. You can find out more informa-tion on car seats here: http://www.icbc.com/road-safety/safer-drivers/Pages/Child-car-seats.aspxCar seats are not required for our 10-passenger bus, but may be a requirement for some children in the mini-van. We will do our best to let you know ahead of time if we may require a car seat for your child.

Medical and Other Considerations: It is the responsibility of each participant (or their parent / legal guardian) to communicate any medical conditions or mental health concerns to Hoodoo Adventures. A completed medical form is a requirement for each participant. In the event that there are concerns, we will be in touch directly to discuss and formulate an individual plan to manage any issues that may arise, such as managing medications, behaviors, etc. If you have not communicated with us in regards to any potential issues, your child may be denied access to the program, or be sent home - especially if the safety and well being of any participant is put at risk, or the participant is found to be unmanageable. This will be at the expense of the participant, and no refunds will be issued. Parents of children who require medication during the trip must provide Hoodoo Adventures with the appropriate medications and documentation / instruction on how to use it.

It is important to note that we are NOT a nut free environment (literally and figuratively).We will accommodate alergies during meal planning for overnight trips.
