Camp Widjiwagan has made the wilderness areas of North America our classroom for teaching care and respect to youth. It is important to acknowledge that there are inherent risks associated with Widjiwagan’s program. Such risks cannot be eliminated without destroying the unique character of this program. Due to the remoteness of our wilderness trips, instant communication is not always possible. Because of this, we have developed a risk management strategy that couples advanced wilderness first aid protocols and training with a thorough knowledge of the areas we use.
Our program cannot guarantee incident free travel, but our attitude and investment in incident prevention can ensure that, in the event of an incident or illness, our Trail Counselors have the training and judgment to make appropriate and expeditious decisions.
