What to Bring Hiking | All
NCC students are welcome on trips.
Participants should realize that
outdoor activities are strenuous and
they must be fit to properly
participate--see the`responsibility
statement below.
All participants are required to be
vaccinated, wear masks, and sign the
waiver from SGA/FSA. The leader may
request that people not participate if
they are not properly prepared.

of the trips are on weekends. We
meet and carpool to the trip location

and find you cannot go, always call
the contact person so they will
not wait for you and delay everyone

Lyme Disease is a tick-born
disease which is endemic throughout this
area. Immediately after every
time spent in the outdoors you should
always inspect yourself carefully for
ticks. It is generally
agreed that the tick must be attached for
more than 24 hours for the disease to be
spread, so prompt removal is important; if
you have been bitten, prompt treatment is
essential (and usually very effective).
Some sources for more information
about Lyme Disease are the American
Lyme Disease Foundation,: and the
Center for Disease Control (CDC).
The CDC has instructions for Proper
Tick Removal on the page just mentioned
