Medical Information

We could make out a long check list of items for you to go through, but we've chosen to let you tell us about your health in your own words. Please be frank and thorough. Every year we have someone on a project who we find out has a major health condition that they didn't disclose to us. When questioned why they didn't list it on their application, they say something like, "I didn't think you'd accept me for the project if I told you." This is simply not true in most cases, and it's best for the leaders to be aware of your history so they can watch your back.

Policies & Cancellations

Your Responsibility

Service projects are cooperative endeavors. Contacts need to be accommodating of each other and supportive of group efforts. A sense of humor, an adventurous spirit and appreciation of the outdoors are good skills to bring to the project. You are responsible for selecting a project that is appropriate for your abilities, reading materials sent to you to prepare for the project, bringing appropriate equipment as advised by Wilderness Volunteers, acting courteously to other participants, adhering to our COVID-19 safety guidelines, and following "Leave No Trace" outdoor ethics as taught by the staff and agency representatives.

Please Note

You should not book nonrefundable travel until you have received confirmation of your acceptance for the project. Project leaders have the right to disqualify a participant at any time during the project if they feel the participant is incapable of continuing without jeopardizing their own or the group´s health, well-being or safety. Pets, firearms, fireworks and playing music on portable speakers are all prohibited on projects.

Cancellations & Refunds

The office must be informed of cancellations directly via phone (928-255-1128), email (reservations@wildernessvolunteers.org), or mail (PO Box 22292 Flagstaff, AZ 86001). The sooner you inform us of your need to cancel, the more opportunity we will have to fill the trip and refund part of your fee.
• Reservations canceled greater than 30 days before the trip start date will receive the trip fee minus a $125 cancellation fee only if we are able to both: 1) fill your slot, and 2) the trip goes out full.
• Reservations cancelled less than one month before the trip start will not receive any refund. Our mission is stewardship work and late cancellations, particularly as a trip date approaches, can make it extremely difficult to find a replacement at the last minute.
• Reservations may be cancelled within 14 days of acceptance with no cancellation fee. (This does not apply to reservations made within 30 days of a project start date.)
As a small nonprofit on a tight budget, Wilderness Volunteers cannot make exceptions to this refund policy for any reason, including personal emergencies or weather. We make every effort to run each project as advertised but sometimes project details (leaders, campsites, work project, etc.) must be changed in order to run the project. Wilderness Volunteers is not responsible for last minute project cancellations due to natural disasters (fire, flooding, volcanic activity, etc.) If Wilderness Volunteers is forced to cancel a project due to low sign-up, etc. we will attempt to do so at least 30 days before the trip start date. If a project is cancelled by Wilderness Volunteers, you will receive a full refund. Wilderness Volunteers is not responsible for airline tickets, other tickets or payments, or any similar fee penalties that you may incur as a result of any project cancellations or changes.
