STATEMENT OF RESPONSIBILITY
This pioneer Trek will be held in a wilderness setting. We will be “roughing it”, so to speak. The Stake will provide food, restroom facilities, safe drinking water, and learning activities. Each participant in this Stake must act in accordance with church standards at all times, and aid other members of the Stake in behaving in accordance with church standards. There are inherent risks involved in all outdoor activities, including this Stake sponsored Pioneer Trek, which are beyond the control of the Stake staff and officers. Proper preparation reduces these risks and is the responsibility of all participants. These considerations should include a warm sleeping bag, proper clothing, a poncho or rain coat, sunscreen, insect repellent, and other items listed on the personal equipment list. All participants must act in such a way as to not endanger themselves or others, and should show charitable considerations to all other participants and leaders in the Trek. Each participant should condition themselves physically for this experience. More specific requirements will be given.
The Trek will be conducted on public property. Each participant must follow applicable “No Trace Camping” protocols to maintain the wilderness nature of the property. Especially, each participant must avoid littering of any kind.
