Section A. Community Standards & Grounds for Dismissal

Alcohol and Marijuana Use: In general, alcohol, marijuana and physical activity don't mix very well. We expect you to follow state laws and Mountain Campus guidelines for responsible and legal use of these substances.  Violation of these policies and laws will be grounds for dismissal from the trip and you will be responsible for your own transportation home if alcohol consumption limits your ability to participate and/or becomes a hazard to you or your classmates.  

Illegal drugs: The use and/or possession of Illegal drugs will not be permitted. If you violate this policy, you will be dismissed from the trip and will be responsible for your own transportation home.  

Reckless behavior is unacceptable: Avoid any behavior in the field (e.g., running & jumping over gullies, wandering away from the group, throwing rocks downhill etc.) or at camp that compromises your safety and/or that of others on the trip. If your behavior becomes a significant problem, you will be dismissed from the trip and will be responsible for your own transportation home. 

Injuries when not in the field: believe it or not, the most serious injuries on trips such as these generally do not occur in the field where participants are fully aware. On the contrary, most field injuries occur when relaxing (e.g., playing ultimate Frisbee, soccer, mountain biking or even walking back to camp). So, please be careful. Remember that you’ve been working hard and are probably more tired than you realize.
