Can children participate? What is the recommended youngest age?
Children are certainly welcome, and we have had ages 8 and up on trips. While younger children would also be welcome, 6 years of age would probably be the youngest that we would recommend for a variety of reasons. Younger-aged children would not be able to take the best advantage of the trip in terms of life-long memories, and the parents/guardians also would preoccupied with ensuring the safety and comfort of younger children to fully benefit themselves from the expedition. As always, a pre-expedition visit to the family doctor is recommended for younger participants.
