Waiver

We require a waiver consent form from every participant prior to accepting any payment.

Your Gear

For day trips, you will need sturdy, comfortable walking shoes – solid running shoes are acceptable. Long quick-dry pants, light and warm layers of clothing that will be comfortable in hot or cold/wet/windy weather, including a wool hat and gloves. Fleece, wool and soft shells are excellent. Please bring a water bottle and a day pack to carry lunch, spare clothing, sunscreen, sunhat, camera. We have some packs, outdoor clothing, and trekking poles to lend.

Martha’s Heli Hikes has all of this gear to lend to you for overnight trips: a pack large enough for the gear listed above, plus a sleeping bag and thermarest, and part of the group tents, food, fuel and other camp items. Gear is different for each of the trips, so you will need to talk more with Martha about what you will need specifically for your trip. Don’t be alarmed, you won’t need to carry the gear far on the heli-camping trips!!

Your Health

Please advise us of food allergies and health concerns, and bring necessary medications. Martha maintains current certifications in wilderness first aid and emergency response.

Deposit & Cancellations

Martha takes deposits to reserve your date and full payment with Canadian etransfers, personal checks or MasterCard, Visa (credit card service fee added). She will refund the full amount until 48 hours prior to your trip, excluding the amount of your deposit.
