Why does this trip cost money?
We do our best to keep our trips affordable, but the reality is there are a lot of costs associated with leading an outdoor trip. This includes, but is not limited to: permits, camping fees, insurance, workers’ comp, gear depreciation, instructor compensation (all of our instructors are queer), food (including accommodations for special diets), and more. Scholarships are available to any participant for whom cost is a barrier.
