Field Safety Courses
Spring 2025 Field Safety classes
Course fees are covered for UAF Researchers by UAF VC of Research, but Fund-Org is required for registration.
Working in the field has a unique set of challenges and risks. At Outdoor Adventures, we recognize those hazards and have worked with researchers on campus to compile a variety of trainings that will give you the tools, tips, and tricks to help mitigate some of the risk associated with field work.
We offer a collection of courses in the Spring semester each year, funded by UAF Vice Chancellor for Research. Outside of these offerings, we are able to provide the same material for a fee (season dependent) .
If you are looking for training for your team, please see our courses listed below and pricing. Please contact us if you are interested in coordinating a course for your group. Mark Oldmixon - mtoldmixon@alaska.edu or 907-474-6709
If you have a question contact Sam Stone and Outdoor Adventures at uaf-oa-staff@alaska.edu by email or calling 907-474-6027.
The course fees for these regularly scheduled programs are covered by a generous grant from the Vice Chancellor of Research. We are requiring a Fund-Org Acct number in order to reserve your spot. We will charge the account a $50/day fee if you cancel within 5 calendar days or just skip the class. Unfortunately, we had people skip courses in the past, and leave people on the waitlist who could have used this training.

Bear Safety Intensive Courses
These are 6 hour courses focusing on bear safety, awareness, and encounter prevention.
We'll be spending some time indoors learning about various methods of bear safety
before venturing outside and practicing scenarios with inert bear spray. These are
not refresher courses.
Please email Sam Stone (szstone@alaska.edu) to register for any of these courses.
