IMCS will furnish a well-supplied first aid kit and our guides are
certified in first aid, CPR and have taken courses specific to wilderness
medicine. IMCS assumes no liability regarding provision of medical
care. You are urged to check your insurance coverage to be sure it
is adequate. |

there will be no refunds. |
