    FAQ

    1.    Can I register for trips through email?
      •  NO. You must register online, or if you need additional assistance, in person at the OAR office during the normal operating hours.
    2.    When is the last day I can sign up for a trip?
      • This will depend on the day the trip  is scheduled to depart.  Typically you must register and pay by the Wednesday before. If the trip takes place during a weekday you must sign up the Monday before the trip departs.
    3.  What can I do if the trip I want to go on is full?
      • Register online and you will be put on the waitlist. You do not have to pay unless someone drops and you get added to the trip
    4. If I am on the waitlist how and when do I know if I have made it on the trip?
      • If a trip is full, before you register you will be notified that you are signing up for the wait list. Once signed up for the trip you will receive an email saying you are on the waitlist and the procedures for making it on to the the trip. If someone cancels and you are the first on the wait list you will receive another email stating that have you made it on the trip. Respond to that email ASAP to let OAR you are still interested in attending. Following a response, you will receive the trip confirmation email which contains all the necessary information for that specefic trip. You can be notified you will be on the trip up until the morning of the trip.

    Refund Policy

    If the trip is canceled prior to departure a 100% refund will be given. This may include but is not limited to: not making the minimum group size, travel and/or activity logistics, environmental conditions, staffing and other isshes inherent to working in the outdoors. A partial refund will be granted if the participant submits a request prior to 72 hours before the scheduled departure date. No refunds will be granted within or after 72 hours of departure. No refunds will be granted based on participant satisfaction or incomplete excursions as trips may be altered as necessitated by the conditions presented at the time.

    No Show Policy

    If you are unable to attend a trip that you have already registered for you are allowed one no-show without a fee. If you have any further no-shows a $10 fee will be charged and a hold placed on your student account until payment.

    We encourage all participants to contact OAR and/or trip leaders if and as soon as a conflict arises so that another may enjoy the spot.

    Participant Expectations

    Please read our participant expectations to familiarize yourself with the standards we hold all participants to while partaking in any OAR related event.

    Safety Briefings will also occur during the trip and leaders will outline any additional and/ or specefic expectations.

  • Must we always teach our children with books? Let them look at the mountains and the stars up above. Let them look at the beauty of the waters and the trees and flowers on earth. They will then begin to think, and to think is the beginning of a real education.
