COVID-19

Looking Ahead to the Adventures we’ll have in 2021

With our 2020 season officially over, Mild to Wild Rafting & Jeep Tours would like to thank our loyal customers, first-time guests, and incredible staff that all helped us through a challenging and rewarding season! We couldn’t have been happier with our ability to share the relaxing and rejuvenating power of the outdoors during the stressful and difficult year we have all been through. Thanks to the local health departments and CDC for helping us create new precautions, procedures, and extra sanitation measures that allowed us to “stay afloat” during the COVID-19 pandemic.

We are proud to report that amongst all 200+ loyal staff members taking over 20,000 incredible guests on outdoor adventures, that to the best of our knowledge there were zero reports of COVID-19 positive or transmission of the virus on our trips. We chalk this up to the dedication of our staff and guests in adhering to our extra precautions, procedures, and sanitation measures while wearing masks when possible and social distancing. Rest assured we feel we have developed a formula to share the outdoors in a responsible manner during the pandemic.

It wasn’t without difficulty that we were able to pull this off, but the reward of providing a means for our guests to relax and rejuvenate in such difficult times was well worth it. Looking ahead to 2021, we intend to take the virus just as seriously and provide our guests with the same level of precautions as directed by the CDC and our local health departments.

Looking forward to 2021, we are optimistic in our ability to provide opportunities for our guests to gain a deeper connection with nature, adventure, family, and new friends. We want to reassure those dreaming about an adventure in 2021 that we take COVID-19 precautions seriously and will be sure to use our experience from this past season and current CDC recommendations to operate your trip as best as possible! Go ahead and dream about the 2021 vacation. We’ll be there to help you.

Enhanced Pre-Trip Screening for both Mild to Wild Employees and Guests:

At Mild to Wild’s discretion we may decline service to a guest or remove staff members from work if they meet any of the following criteria:

1. Have you recently experienced any of the following symptoms?
   • Fever (100.4°F/38°C or higher) or chills?
   • Cough that you cannot attribute to another health condition?
   • Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing that you cannot attribute to another health condition?
   • A sore throat that you cannot attribute to another health condition?
   • Muscle aches that you cannot attribute to another health condition or that may have been caused by a specific activity (such as physical exercise)
   • Loss of taste or smell?
2. Have you been in contact with an individual who has been ill with flu-like symptoms in the last 14 days?
3. Have you been diagnosed with COVID-19 in the last 30 days? If “yes”, please enter the date you were notified that you were no longer contagious with COVID-19.
4. Have you been tested for COVID-19? If yes, when was the test, and what were the results?
5. Have you been tested for COVID-19 antibodies? If yes, what were the results?

These measures do require guests and staff members to self identify. As with any family, total honesty will drive the greater good for guests and staff in the Mild to Wild family. Before the trip meeting, we will email out a questionnaire to screen guests about their health and exposure. By reserving this trip you agree to self-report if you meet the above COVID-19 criteria 72 hours prior to trip departure.

It is recommended that people at higher risk for severe illness from COVID-19 should not go on backcountry trips. High-risk individuals include, but are not limited to people with the following conditions:

• Over 65 years of age
• Chronic lung disease or moderate to severe asthma
• Severely obese
• Diabetes, chronic kidney disease, or undergoing dialysis
• Liver disease
• Other immunocompromised individuals (HIV, undergoing cancer treatment, or other underlying medical conditions)

We will always maintain the CDC’s recommended precautions to stop the spread of COVID-19 as published at the time of your trip.
