> the Outing Club is very popular, and also run by amateurs. This is true of hundreds, maybe thousands of colleges and universities in the U.S. It's not unusual to have a college outing club that is led by students. > No insurance company would cover a high-risk activity group without demanding conditions like being able to call 911 or medevac. This is just incorrect. Backcountry activities are not necessarily higher risk than other activities, and insurance companies will certainly cover such activities. Again: many, many colleges and universities already have coverage for their outing clubs.
