Description:

This Caving course is for the individual that would like to have a first time experience in a wild but explored cave. We will cover everything you need to know about basic cave geology, animal life, and how to select and use the proper equipment for a safe trip of this type. We will not be walking through lighted passageways. You will be using headlamps and helmets. You also will be traveling through a number of passages that will be very wet and muddy and will at times require you to do long belly crawls. The course will include a weekend day trip.

• All class sessions are mandatory. Any student not attending the first class session of a course will be dropped from the class and replaced by others that are on the waiting list and in attendance of the class. Each student is responsible for adding or dropping any classes with their college.
