  • Family Activities Handbook
    Youth & Adult Participant and Parent/Guardian Commitment In Mountaineers Family Activities, youth participants must be accompanied by an adult who agrees to be their supervisor. If the leader’s child is participating, there should be an additional adult who takes responsibility for that child, so that the trip leader can focus on the safety of the group, without the distraction of taking care of a youth participant. Adults participating in a family activity may supervise more than one youth, and youth can attend without their parents/guardians as long as they are with another adult. Because many of our locations have party-size maximums dictated by the land manager, often times a family activity can only accommodate a handful of families. Because of this, and because families typically need to plan far in advance, it is very important that families commit to attending the activity. A last-minute cancellation will prevent families from attending who could have attended with more notice, and may significantly impact the feel of the activity. Families who frequently cancel at the last minute may risk denial of participation in future family activities. Electronics Cell phones, music and video games are typically not a part of the Mountaineers programs. They detract from the wilderness experience and from the community. Youth are encouraged to leave all electronics out of sight (or at home) during Mountaineers programs. Youth who choose to use cell phones, gps units or other electronics may do so, with the leader’s permission, as long as it creates no disruption of the wilderness experience for others.
