  • The contact form has an "Outdoor Adventures" option and asks you to "Tell us about your adventure interests and health condition", but the site never says requests are being accepted now. The "Apply For A Trip" button leads to a list headed "Upcoming 2025 Adventures" (all past) that ends "Additional adventures will be added as they become available".
  • The adventures page still labels its schedule Upcoming 2025 Adventures. Those past listings are not current application deadlines.
  • "Additional adventures will be added as they become available" (no 2026 dates posted as of 2026-09-26).
