Participants are able to leave a small amount of luggage at Outdoor Recreation. The luggae will be kept in a locked location until the students return from the field.

Most of our trip locations do not have reliable cell phone coverage. As well we ask our students and staff to turn off and stow their phones, so they can be present in the experience and part of the group.

If you have an emergency and need to contact a student please reach out to the Outdoor Program at 406-994-3621 for assistance. 

All of our trips carry a satellite text message communication device. The trip leaders have been trained on our emergency communication protocols and we maintain an on-call system to respond to issues 24hrs a day. 

We hold a no news is good news philosophy. Our trip leaders check in regularly and let the base camp team know about any changes in route or plan.

If you have any questions- please reach out to the email provided during registration. We will be emailing students with any updates about the program. 

Our trip leaders are trained in wilderness medicine and are practiced with our emergency response plans (ERP) that have been tailored to each trip. In the event of an emergency, after they have managed the emergent concerns they will initiate the ERP.  It is helpful for us to know about any medical conditions that might affect a student’s ability to participate.

We offer a variety of Trips, Credit based courses, Clinics and other Programs. Please check out our website for more details. As well for students who are interested in working as an employee for the program please check out the School of Adventure Leadership!
