ability to perform comfortably in extremely cold and/or inclement weather.</li> <li>Multi-day overnight trekking and camping are required.</li> <li>Courses will be occasionally carried out over uneven terrain, often without a trail, and may include river crossings or other hazards, depending on route and travel logistics.</li> <li>Students must be prepared to spend long days in potentially harsh terrain, with a number of environmental concerns to mitigate, including bears, mosquitos, moose, wolves, rivers, tides, weather, temperature, etc.</li> <li>Students must be 16 years or older to attend
