We work very hard at HHCC to manage your safety during your visit with us. We know this is a prime consideration for many people booking an outdoor programme, and be assured it is the top of our priorities as well. It is important to realise however, that the outdoors and activities carried out at HHCC contain risks that can not be completely eliminated. To successfully remove all risks, would destroy the unique character that takes people into the outdoors.
While at HHCC you may live, travel, and camp outdoors as part of your programme. Activities vary greatly and you may visit remote places some distance from base camp and medical facilities where communication and transportation is difficult and sometimes evacuation and medical care may be delayed.
We are not telling you this to frighten you, or reduce your enthusiasm for coming to camp, but we believe it is important for you to know the risks in advance so that you can make informed decisions about your programme.
