Trips, Tours, Instruction, & Presentations (ESCAPES) with Outdoor Escapes New Hampshire, LLC (OENH)
1. Group size may be limited. See listings for minimum and maximum participation.
2. Participants will travel in the wilderness with respect for wildlife and the natural environment, and will adhere to all federal, state, local, and private rules and regulations. Alcohol and illegal substances will not be tolerated.
3. Liability, Safety, and Responsibility: We offer ESCAPES requiring various degrees of fitness. We are not qualified to evaluate your fitness so you must evaluate your fitness as appropriate for any given ESCAPE. If you are overweight, or in poor physical condition, you should consult with your physician before participating in our active ESCAPES. We make every effort to provide you with a fun trip. Your guides will give you instructions before each trip and it is important that you listen and do as they say. You will assume the responsibility for many decisions affecting your safety during this trip. Although every precaution is taken to safeguard you and your belongings, remote wilderness adventure trips involve activities that can be physically demanding with inherent elements of risks and dangers, which are beyond our control. OENH shall assume no responsibility for personal injuries or deaths and loss of personal property.
We highly recommend that you purchase travel, accident, and cancellation insurance. Insurance coverage can help with expenses for the unforeseeable such as lost baggage, trip delays, emergency evacuation, and cancellation due to illness. You may have this privilege through your credit card or another source. InsureMyTrip
4. Gear & Equipment: Each participant is responsible for personal gear. Due to New Hampshire’s unpredictable weather, we highly recommend bringing everything on your customized Pack List in order for you to have a comfortable outdoor experience for the duration of your trip. Your gear will be inspected prior to each trip. If you are missing something, your trip may be cut short. Our goal is safety, fun, and learning, and we believe in packing light, but right, so please take the Pack List seriously in order to prevent problems and minimize risks. You may also be asked to carry some group gear, such as tent, cook kit, food, emergency kit, etc. Recreation equipment rentals are available and are the responsibility of participants during your ESCAPE.
5. Food and Water: We do our best to provide you with New Hampshire made meals, appropriate to the chosen activity. Any dietary restrictions and allergies should be noted on the Medical Form. Water acquired in the wilderness for drinking purposes is treated first to prevent illness. We use low-impact practices and take out everything we carry in. Picnic lunches on day trips are usually picked up at a local gourmet deli or grocer in the morning. For multi-day trips, your adventure guide, lodging establishment, and local restaurant may provide food and prepare scrumptious meals.
6. Each Participant (and parent/guardian of each Participant under 18) must complete and sign a “Participant Agreement, Release, and Acknowledgement of Risk” form.
7. Each Participant (and parent/guardian of each Participant under 18) on full day and longer trips must complete and sign a “Medical Form.” Certain trips will require a doctor's approval.
8. Youth under age 18 are allowed with an accompanying adult. Youth groups must have adequate supervision coverage.
9. If pets are allowed to join an ESCAPE there will be a fee and travel will be limited to certain areas.
