We at EcoElsa strive to provide safe, educational opportunities for adults and children. To do this, we make extensive use of Minnesota’s natural outdoor public spaces. These public spaces may contain hazards unknown to us and created by conditions beyond our control, including, but not limited to, outdoor weather conditions and other visitors. While our staff will always act to avoid or take any necessary precautions against known hazards, we ask that you work cooperatively with us to identify and avoid any unknown hazards you may encounter.
Please note that our staff have only limited medical training, are not medical professionals, and do not recommend any individual participate in EcoElsa’s outdoor programs if that individual has a medical condition or impairment, including the use of prescription medications, that might affect the individual’s ability to fully participate in these programs.
