General Trip / Event Policy:
1) The Non-Commercial Trips
& Events listed herein are cooperative adventures among
participants. The group is collectively responsible for the conduct of the event. Each
participant is individually responsible for judging one's own qualifications and
responsible for his / her own safety.
2) Trip Participants:
Please
contact each event coordinator well ahead of the event to ensure the accuracy of the list while
answering any questions and/or concerns you may have. Some events require a
liability/waiver form which must be submitted well ahead of the actual event.
3) This
list in no way reflects the opinions or expertise of the Kansas Canoe Association,
its members, any
listed organization, or business entity.
4) The Trip Coordinator may refuse to allow a participant,
based on reasonable grounds, but the responsibility for judging one's own qualifications
lies solely with each individual trip member.
5) By participating in an event, you release
the referral club, its members, trip coordinator, and fellow participants from any
injuries due to any negligent act or omission or to any intentional act intended to
promote your well being. Click here for information on the
International Scale of Difficulty
6) Warning : The activities listed
below carry a risk of personal injury or death. Canoeing, Kayaking and other outdoor activities
can be inherently dangerous. We recommend that you not participate in these activities without first seeking qualified instruction and/or guidance, understanding the risks involved, and personally assuming all responsibility for those risks.
