BOOTPRINTS INC.

FAQ's

 WHAT ARE THE FEES?

We do not quote per-person rates because that usually costs you more.  Instead, we custom-calculate the cost for your event, and charge a flat fee based on the actual expenses.  Because of this, our fees are usually considerably lower than our competitors. Contact us to receive a individualized quote.

ARE OUR PARTICIPANTS TOO OLD/YOUNG/NOT FIT ENOUGH?

Because of the flexible nature of what we do, most programs can be adjusted to the developemental and physical needs of your group. We wil discuss the unique needs of your group during the pre-program planning process.

ARE THERE AGE OR WEIGHT LIMITS FOR CHALLENGE COURSE ACTIVITIES?

Usually no. The biggest considerations are that we can get a person safely into the climbing harness, and that a person has been cleared by their own doctor for the activities in which they will be participating. Any participants who have questions are welcome to call us and ask questions.

WHERE ARE BOOTPRINTS FACILITIES LOCATED?

Most of our programs are portable, and can be set up at any suitable location at your school, business building, conference facility, or park.  Programs may be designed for indoors or outdoors. Challenge Course programs utilize existing facilities around the State of Florida.

DO YOU TRAVEL OUTSIDE OF SOUTH FLORIDA?

Absolutely!

WHAT IF WE DON'T KNOW WHAT PROGRAM IS BEST FOR US?

Because of our many hours of experience working with various types of groups, we can help you discover the best possible fit to your goals and budget. Contact us and let's have a conversation, then we will provide a proposal with various options from which to choose.

WHY DO I HAVE TO SIGN A RELEASE FOR SELECTED ACTIVITIES?

Some of the facilities with which we partner require that their release be signed by participants and/or minors' guardians, as a condition of participation. Additionally, we sometimes ask participants to sign releases for activities which are considered "higher risk," including but not limited to water-based activities and the use of sharp tools such as scissors, or a model release if we will be taking photographs during the program. The signing of a release does not obligate anyone to engage in the activities in question, and any participant may request an alternative role.

WHAT DO WE WEAR OR BRING TO OUR PROGRAM?

Participants who will be engaging in outdoor or active programming should dress appropriately in comfortable, loose clothing with closed-toe shoes and any necessary protective gear such as hats, sunglasses, sunscreen, and ponchos.  Participants should bring any snacks, medications, or other things they need. We discourage large or expensive jewelry or anything that could become snagged or lost, and we encourage you to "unplug" from cell phones and similar devices so you can be fully engaged in the group process free, from distraction. Most of the   challenge courses with which we partner do not allow personal climbing gear.

HOW DO WE GET STARTED?

Just call or email - we'll find out your needs and send a proposal.
