fees for those who have not made a financial commitment. Northern Tier High Adventure Programs must commit financial resources to employ
staff, purchase food and supplies, and prepare for base operations. Participants are, therefore, also required to make a financial commitment to
attend. Be conservative in making reservations to avoid losing fees due to cancellations.
