Are you confident your Outdoor and Adventure organization is getting first-class risk management protection?

From the outside, people looking at your outdoor and adventure-based business might describe it as “exciting” and “fun.” While it is those things, they will never know that the pleasure they get out of the experience you offer them is only possible because you and your team are laser-focused on your organization’s safety and risk management. With nearly 45 years of collective experience working with outdoor and adventure-based businesses like yours, the team at Fred C. Church understands what serious concerns are occupying your mind daily. From participants practicing unsafe behaviors on a trip to employees using poor judgment as they are guiding your clients, these are just a few actions that have the potential to cause a severe, even life-threatening, accident or injury. For this reason, it is essential that you hire a risk management resource that you can rely on to help you protect your organization, your staff, and your participants.

Our Three-Step Risk Management Process

Working hand-in-hand with you to regularly monitor your company’s potential losses.

Identify

We start by mapping out your potential operational and financial risks; how likely each is to happen and how frequently; and what impact they may have on your organization and finances. Then, working together, we take a proactive and strategic approach to help you determine which risks require your attention first.

Assess

Our goal is to understand how you currently deal with your identified risks and if this aligns with our knowledge of best practices for your specific industry. We also review your current insurance policies, and their limits and exclusions, to discover possible gaps or redundancies that may warrant changes to your plan.

Address

Our team puts together a risk management program to address the risks you knew about, but that may not have been adequately covered, and those that we identified for you through this process. We then offer a variety of insurance solutions that will allow you to make decisions that align with your appetite for risk.
