Providing a safe experience on our trips is our number one priority at Camp Queen Elizabeth.  We take a pro-active approach to managing risks on trip through several avenues:

Trip Leaders:  We hire experienced and qualified leaders for our trips through a competitive hiring process each season. 

Training:  Each year, all of our trip leaders undergo an intensive risk-management training session that helps prepare them to understand how to manage risks properly while out on trip.  This training was custom-designed for CQE by the National Outdoor Leadership School (NOLS).

Route Planning:  Our routes are custom designed for each group.  This enables us to take into account the age and experience of the group in order to have a challenging, yet accessible wilderness experience.

Communication:  Every trip takes some form of communication device with them on trip: a satellite phone, a satellite messenger, or a cellular phone is used, depending on location.  These devices allow the trip leaders to communicate with the Camp or emergency services if needed.
