Towards this end we pledge that our efforts shall always emphasize-- access, education, safety, independence, and conservation. Through participation in safe, challenging adaptive outdoor experiences, we will enjoy the positive life changing benefits and therapeutic value of adventure.

Enjoying, as we do, a spiritual, a moral, and a therapeutic connection with the out-of-doors, with the responsibility educate and hand it down unspoiled to tomorrow's inheritors, we individually undertake the responsibility to annually participate in at least one adaptive outdoor recreation experience with a person (child, teen, adult, or senior) newly injured or diagnosed with a physical or developmental disability, a chronic illness, or other special health needs, instructing them as best we know, in the responsibilities that are soon to be wholly theirs.

Understanding that we have a moral obligation to be accountable to ourself, to others and to God our creator as well as a duty to preserve and protect our natural resources and holding that example alone is the one certain teacher, we pledge always to conduct ourselves in such a fashion in the outdoors as to make safe for others the heritage which is ours and theirs.
