PLEASE READ CAREFULLY
Location: Over the past 35 years Voice of Wilderness has conducted trips in a variety of locations throughout Colorado, New Mexico, Wyoming, Arkansas and Texas. For the Summer of 2006, programs will be conducted in the beautiful San Juan Mountains of Southwestern Colorado. Voice of Wilderness base camp is located North of Pagosa Springs, Colorado, high in the San Juan Mountains, totally surrounded by national forest. Panoramic views can be seen in all directions from these 35 beautiful acres, which are clothed partially by magnificent Aspen, Fir, and Spruce trees and partially by a meadow covered with tall grass and a wide variety of wild flowers. A rustic log lodge with a large open fireplace and cozy bedrooms will welcome each participant at the beginning and end of each trip.
Reservations: We encourage you to register for the trip of your choice as soon as possible, as space is limited. Places will be reserved on a first come first serve basis, until the trip is filled to capacity.
The proper deposit must be sent with each registration in order to reserve a place.
Deadline for registration and balance of payment is 14 days prior to beginning of each trip.
Cancellations: Deadline for refund in the event you wish to cancel your registration, is 21 days prior to departure date. Cancellations received within 20 days of departure date will not be refunded unless you are able to find a replacement; in which case a refund will be granted.
V.O.W. reserves the right to cancel or alter trip locations and status due to insufficient reservations, unsafe conditions, or Forest Service Regulations.
If cancellation of a trip becomes necessary your payment will be fully refunded.
Costs: Total cost listed with each trip includes deposit, all team equipment and supplies, (except items on the following list of supplies) food while at lodge and on the trail, accommodations while staying at lodge, and insurance for activities during the trip, (policy limitations and exclusions will be made available for review upon request).
Transportation: You will be expected to arrange your own transportation. Upon registration you will receive a detailed map that will direct you to Voice of Wilderness base camp location. If you have difficulty arranging transportation, please let us know. Perhaps we can coordinate with others going your way. If you choose to fly, we will arrange transportation to and from the airport in Durango or Pagosa Springs.
Arrival and Departure: We will be expecting you to arrive between 3:00 and 5;00 p.m. on the first day of your program. Departure will be expected after breakfast on the last day of your program.
Participant Responsibilities: We highly suggest you begin a physical conditioning program consisting of jogging, push-ups and sit-ups, as soon as you determine you will be participating in one of our trips. For maximum safety, participants will be expected to cooperate with staff in charge of their trip. Tobacco, alcoholic drink or illegal drugs are not permitted on trips at any time. Participants will be expected to come prepared with those items on the following list of supplies.
Leadership: VOW was founded in 1973. For the past 35 years it has been a priority to maintain competency in the leadership of VOW through continued experience in wilderness skills and programming. Maintaining up to date emergency medical certification needed for these trips and continued training and study in biblical principles are hallmarks of VOW leadership. All staff members are chosen on the basis of their desire to pursue these same standards and qualifications. As a result, VOW has initiated a positive force in the lives of many youth and adults over these years and at the same time maintained an excellent safety record.
