Q: Looks like it might rain, is my class still on?
A: All Adventure Out survival classes are RAIN OR SHINE! …it is after all, a survival class. We do have rain coverage we use at the camp so you wont be standing in the rain the whole time. Dress appropriately and you will have a great time. If you are adverse to the idea of taking a class in inclimate weather, please only register for summer dates. We do have to pay for each person’s space at the camp in advance of the class, so we are not able to offer refunds or reschedules if you choose not to attend due to weather (or any other reason).
Q: Do I need to remit payment at the class site?
A: No, if you’ve registered online, your credit card has been charged and you are paid. GRATUITIES: Our instructors work very hard and do accept gratuities. Typical gratuity rates are 10-20% of your class fee.
Q: I don’t have a car, Is there public transportation available?
A: There is no public transportation directly to the class site, however there is a city bus from Santa Cruz that will get you all the way to downtown Boulder Creek – 1 mile away. Or, get a ride from Lyft! Adventure Out has partnered with Lyft to get new users a ride credit towards your first ride (credit amount varies with Lyft monthly promotions and can range from $5-$25).
