BAYMOUNT OUTDOOR ADVENTURES
“WHITE CAVES ADVENTURE” INFORMATION SHEET
|
Description: The "White Caves" Adventure explores a unique two cave system that is well suited to beginners. Unlike most commercial cave tours, Baymount’s tour explores a totally wild and undeveloped gypsum cavern. As a result, visitors have the opportunity to experience personal growth while learning about cave formation, safe caving practices and the preservation of delicate underground ecosystems.
Tour Length: The tour lasts approximately 3 hours.
Experience: No previous experience is required. This tour is designed as an introduction to cave exploration.
Difficulty: The tour includes a 1.5 km walk to and from the caves, over hills and woodland trails. The caves are natural and undeveloped and, as such, require caution while exploring. Upright walking is not always possible and a 4 metre crawl is required to enter the large "Bat Room" in the South Cave.
Restrictions: Children must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.
Equipment: Baymount provides safety helmets, headlamps, gloves, nylon jacket & pants, snack.
What to Bring: Participants should wear sturdy footwear (sneakers, laced walking shoes, hiking boots), long pants, long sleeve shirt, and a jacket (nylon shell). Participants may get dirty.
Waiver: All participants are required to complete a waiver form. (Youth participants' waivers must also be signed by a parent or guardian.)
Language: English or French (French is usually available if pre-arranged.)
