1. Pre-Retreat Risk Assessment & Emergency Planning
Artisan Venture Tours recommends comprehensive risk assessments tailored to each retreat location—whether it's riverside cabins, alpine trails, or conference centers. This includes:
• Evaluating terrain and weather conditions
• Mapping emergency exits and transfer routes
• Sharing contact info for local medical services and emergency responders
2. Safety-Focused Transportation & Logistics
All participant travel—van, bus, or carpool—is coordinated by AVT, adhering to DOT and state regulations. Drivers undergo vetting and training, vehicles are inspected prior to departure, and weather advisories are closely monitored—especially important in Montana's mountain valleys near Livingston.
3. Outdoor Adventure Guidelines
With routes and activities set against the breathtaking Rocky and Absaroka ranges, each hike, paddle, or climb comes with:
• Trail briefings covering perceived and hidden hazards
• Mandatory gear checklists (e.g., boots, helmets, layers, hydration systems)
• Certified guides with first-aid and backcountry rescue skills
4. Health Measures & Environmental Preparedness
To promote wellness, retreats integrate:
• Hydration stations at all activity zones
• Sunscreen and bug-repellent use reminders
• Allergy awareness measures (especially for those with Montana wildlife exposure or mountain flora allergies)
• Altitude acclimatization plans for elevated retreat destinations
5. COVID-19, Flu & General Illness Protocols
AVT continues to enforce best practices, offering:
• On-site health screenings during group check-in
• Sanitization stations
• Flexible scheduling to isolate and care for symptomatic attendees
6. Evening & Evening-Social Safety
Evening programs—like bonfires, outdoor movies, and mixology workshops—include:
• Clarified roles for sober event staff
• Proper fire setup with safety perimeters
• Responsible alcohol serving guidelines (licensed bartenders, drink limits, designated attendants)
7. On-Site Medical Support & Insurance Accessibility
AVT ensures:
• Availability of first-aid trained staff and kit stations
• Optional local EMS standby (based on remote site needs)
• Clarified instructions for attendees to share health/insurance information confidentially
8. Pre-Retreat Safety Communication
Before departure, participants receive a digital retreat safety guide covering:
• Contact phone numbers for retreat leads, AVT, and emergency services
• Gear checklists and weather considerations
• General safety rules, including wildlife awareness and respectful property use
9. Day-Of Safety Briefings
Retreat kickoff includes a live orientation covering:
