Field Safety Courses
Fall 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.
