Safety is a Priority

The Monarch Center believes that people will change and grow only if they trust the environment and people that surround them. It is, therefore, our philosophy to strenuously challenge the students - physically, intellectually, and emotionally, but to do so without compromising their safety. Our instructors are experts in wilderness and backcountry living, as well as certified Wilderness First Responders. In 14 years of operation, the Monarch Center has had no major injuries or deaths. We are extremely proud of our excellent safety record and we would be happy to discuss it with you in detail.
