Outline for Starting a New Outdoor Recreation Business
Posted: May 29, 2020 Filed under: Activity / Sport / Recreation | Tags: education, first aid, Insurance, Limited liability company, New Business, Outdoor recreation Leave a commentUpdated May 28, 2020
Not every business will follow this outline; however, it provides some basic ideas on when and why you need legal advice to protect your business.
Check back as this page will be updated with new ideas and articles.
Year 1
-
Create Limited Liability Company for your business: Because the cost of starting an LLC in most states is minimal, start one immediately and start using the name to provide notice that you are doing business as an LLC.
For more information about entity options see: Starting Your Outdoor Recreation Business: Entities and Taxation
-
Unless you want your business to be a non-profit business, then set up a non-profit corporation.
-
Even if you expect to go public at a later time, an LLC provides the most protection immediately.
-
Start the LLC in your own state. If you need to later, you can move the LLC or start another LLC or corporation in a state that might have better laws than your state, such as Delaware.
-
Compare the cost of starting an LLC in your home state $50-$100 to Delaware, $750.00
-
-
-
Apply for the necessary permits to operate on the land you want to be using.
-
Inquire with the land managers if there are permits available.
-
Find out how to apply for a permit and the requirements
-
Determine if you can get a permit.
-
Make friends with the person in charge of permits.
-
-
Apply for Insurance for your business
I can provide you with a list of insurance carriers who specialize in Outdoor Recreation Insurance. Email me at mailto:jhmoss@gmail.com?subject=I’m interested in your list of insurance brokers Include your name and contact information and a little about your business.
-
Basic business liability policy
-
This provides protections you might need such as someone falling at your office, advertising liability, etc.
-
-
Specialty risk policy for your outdoor activity
-
This provides the protection for the specific activity you want to do.
-
Make sure it provides coverage for SAR costs.
-
-
-
Commercial Automobile policy
-
If you are going to transport people, this policy will probably be your most expensive policy so purchase it only when you need it.
-
-
-
Write a Risk-Management Plan
-
Probably one page long. Any longer and you are writing a plan for attorneys to sue you.
-
You cannot write a plan that covers every risk you, your employees and your guests are going to encounter. So don’t try.
-
What you can do is take an ICS course, online, and learn how write a plan that deals with what to do, what you have and who to contact rather than trying to decide how to put out a fire.
For more on this subject see: Creating Your Risk-Management Plan
-
-
Identify classes and education needed by you and your employees for the programs you will be running/teaching/instructing. (Certification is not the key; education is. See Basics of the Article are Good – But it confuses certification, accreditation and most importantly standards.)
-
First Aid Classes
-
Dependent upon the distance from Emergency Medical Services
-
Dependent upon the first aid supplies you can carry.
-
Dependent upon the injuries you guests & employees may incur.
-

Top Rope

Denver based James H. Moss, JD, an attorney who specializes in the legal issues of outdoor recreation and adventure travel companies, guides, outfitters, and manufacturers, has written a comprehensive legal guidebook titled, “Outdoor Recreation Insurance, Risk Management, and Law”. Sagamore Publishing, a well-known Illinois-based educational publisher, distributes the book.
Mr. Moss, who applied his 30 years of experience with the legal, insurance, and risk management issues of the outdoor industry, wrote the book in order to fill a void.
“There was nothing out there that looked at case law and applied it to legal problems in outdoor recreation,” Moss explained. “The goal of this book is to provide sound advice based on past law and experience.”
The Reference book is sold via the Summit Magic Publishing, LLC.
While written as a college-level textbook, the guide also serves as a legal primer for executives, managers, and business owners in the field of outdoor recreation. It discusses how to tackle, prevent, and overcome legal issues in all areas of the industry.
The book is organized into 14 chapters that are easily accessed as standalone topics, or read through comprehensively. Specific topics include rental programs, statues that affect outdoor recreation, skiing and ski areas, and defenses to claims. Mr. Moss also incorporated listings of legal definitions, cases, and statutes, making the book easy for laypeople to understand.

Western State University unveiling Outdoor Industry MBA for 2018-19
Posted: June 19, 2018 Filed under: Uncategorized | Tags: #MBA, MBA Program, Outdoor recreation, Outdoor Recreation MBA Program, Western State, Western State University Leave a commentPhoto by Eric Phillips.
The School of Graduate Studies at Western State Colorado University recently announced the formation of a new and innovative opportunity. Starting with the 2018-19 academic year, Western will offer an Outdoor Industry MBA.
The two-year, online program includes an MBA core as well as specific tracks for either the product or service side of the outdoor-recreation economy, which generates $887 billion annually in consumer spending, according to the Outdoor Industry Association. The program also includes residencies, immersion experiences and guest lectures from outdoor industry experts.
“The Outdoor Industry MBA at Western will give graduate students the tools and connections necessary to make forward-thinking change within this fast-growing industry,” said program director Pete Sherman. “We have a unique approach to class scheduling where we offer the industry-specific courses first. This way, students can apply content from class immediately to the workplace.”
Ideal candidates have a bachelor’s degree, professional experience in the industry and the desire to take their career to the next level. They have a lifestyle rooted in the outdoors, an aspiration to foster growth in this environmentally conscious, sustainable business sector and an interest in strengthening their network within the outdoor industry.
“The Outdoor Industry MBA’s clear focus on the business acumen required to lead the outdoor-recreation industry’s multibillion dollar economy is a significant measurement of Western’s and Colorado’s commitment to our talent pipeline,” said Luis Benitez, director of the Colorado Outdoor Recreation Industry Office.
Classes for Western’s inaugural Outdoor Industry MBA cohort begin Sept. 24, pending accreditation approval. For more information about this one-of-a-kind academic program, visit western.edu/outdoor-industry-mba.
“Western has always been a feeder school for the outdoor industry,” said Adam Howard ’97, president and CEO of Height of Land Media, publisher of Alpinist, Backcountry and Cross Country Skier magazines. “Given its location and culture around outdoor pursuits, I can’t think of a school more poised to bring this MBA program to fruition.”

National Park Service Offers $15 Million in Grants for Outdoor Recreation in Cities

National Park Service News Release | |||
National Park Service Offers $15 Million in Grants for Outdoor Recreation in CitiesWASHINGTON – National Park Service Director Jonathan B. Jarvis today opened the application period for $15 million of grants to develop outdoor recreation spaces in urban areas. “We are excited to offer these competitive grants which will be matched with local partnerships to create safe outdoor recreation places for people, especially young people, in neighborhoods of America’s cities,” Jarvis said. The National Park Services (NPS) Outdoor Recreation Legacy Partnership Program (ORLP) competitive grants are made available through the Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF) and are just the second round of such grants. The NPS obligated $2.9 million of the grants for pilot projects last year. Communities and partners matched that money with projects in eight cities worth a total of $6.1 million. “I think Congress recognized the value of the projects and partnerships and they responded with a fivefold increase in project grant dollars this year,” Jarvis said. “We’re looking to build on the excitement generated by these pilot projects and grants to add many more projects across the country.” The NPS will entertain project proposals ranging from $250,000 to $750,000 each, and planning grants up to $75,000. Projects must have matching funds and partners. Outside of the planning grants, funding for eligible projects can be used to acquire and/or develop land to create new, or reinvigorate existing, public parks and other outdoor recreation spaces in neighborhoods that are underserved or lack such opportunities. Jarvis also announced a pilot planning grant program mini-competition, which will fund special studies to help guide park and recreation investment to where it is needed most in urbanized areas. The ORLP grants complement the existing NPS LWCF State and Local Assistance Program in targeting national priorities to create new opportunities for outdoor play as well as development or enhancement of outdoor recreation partnerships in cities. Selected projects will showcase how partners at all levels can work collaboratively to leverage investment and support close-to-home recreation opportunities that will connect youth to public lands. Since its establishment in 1964, the Land and Water Conservation Fund has conserved land in every state and supported tens of thousands of state and local projects. The fund does not use taxpayer dollars; the primary source of income derives from fees paid by oil and gas companies drilling offshore in waters owned by the American people. President Obama proposed full funding for the Land and Water Conservation Fund in the Fiscal Year 2017 budget, and is pursuing permanent authorization in annual mandatory funding for the Fund’s programs beginning in 2018. Who may apply? State and local government agencies (e.g., cities, counties, legal subdivisions such as park districts, etc.) and federally-recognized Indian tribes within or serving areas delineated by the Census Bureau from the 2010 census as having populations of 50,000 or more people and consisting of densely settled territory. How do I apply? Proposals should be developed in cooperation with the lead agency for LWCF in each state. The full funding opportunity announcement and pre-application materials are available online at grants.gov. Please look for Funding Opportunity Number P16AS00065; Title: Land and Water Conservation Fund Outdoor Recreation Legacy Partnership Program. When is the deadline for applications? Applications are due on Friday, May 20, 2016. |

Society of Outdoor Recreation Professionals is proud to present the 2014 National Outdoor Recreation Conference
Posted: April 19, 2014 Filed under: Uncategorized | Tags: Current River State Park, East Bay Regional Park District, Outdoor recreation, Ozark, Ozark National Scenic Riverways, San Francisco, Three Rivers Park District, x, y, z Leave a comment“Thriving in a New Economic Reality”
The early bird deadline is April 18 – register now and save
The Society of Outdoor Recreation Professionals is proud to present the 2014 National Outdoor Recreation Conference. This year we are featuring presentations that demonstrate how you are adapting and thriving in our new economic reality. You will learn about innovative partnerships, diversifying funding sources, use of technology to streamline, entrepreneurial solutions, adaptive reuse of aging facilities, cultivating political and community support, and other case studies that present new ideas and tools to succeed in today’s economic reality.
Session Spotlight
Communicating with our many stakeholders is an important but sometimes challenging task of a successful outdoor recreation project. Learn from several SORP members and their colleagues about the different approaches they’ve taken in listening and learning from their stakeholders.
Benchmarking: The Art of Talking to People on Benches in an Effort to Keep Them Happy
Intercept surveys are an incredibly useful tool for gaining a solid understanding of existing park user’s perspectives and desires as well as understanding who your agency is currently serving. Intercept surveys generate the type of information professionals crave when developing system plans, master plans, and project plans.
However, this level of outreach can be awkward (walking up to strangers and asking for all kinds of personal information – yikes!!!) and intimidating (resources, bias, data entry/analysis…where do you start???). And what do you do with the information once you have it?
This presentation will walk you through parallel studies conducted in 2008 and 2013 across a system of 19 park units encompassing 27,000+ acres whose annual visitation exceeds 5 million and discuss how to share and use the survey findings to guide thoughtful decisions and long-term plans. Join SORP members Thomas Mercier, Research & Evaluation Coordinator and Kelly Grissman, Director of Planning, Three Rivers Park District to hear about examples that will provide insight on the realistic expectations of the resources required and project outcomes.
A Road Runs Through It
Park planning can be greatly affected by past history. Strong and independent pioneers settled the Ozarks in the mid-1800s. A hardscrabble existence fraught with peril refined the Ozark character. Today, some descendants are thriving and others continue to get by in a beautiful and unforgiving landscape. For all, their ties to the land remain strong and independent, helping further shape today’s Ozark culture. At Current River State Park, local perspectives have been shaped by experiences with the Ozark National Scenic Riverways. Not all of the experiences have been regarded as positive by the populace. The long-festering cultural clash came to a head when local authorities unilaterally pushed a road into the new state park. Join SORP member Bill Bryan, Director of Missouri State Parks, and learn how Missouri reconciled with park neighbors to move forward with the new park even though A Road Runs Through It.
Building Your Plan for Community Engagement and Outreach
The East Bay Regional Park District is comprised of over 113,000 acres in 65 parks and over 1,200 miles of trails within Alameda and Contra Costa County in California. The district, serving the Bay Area for 80 years, is dedicated to improving access to and use of the parks by members of groups that are underrepresented, such as persons with disabilities, the economically disadvantaged and elderly park visitors.
In early 2011, the district opened the Tidewater Boating Center which was funded by State Prop 40 monies to provide outdoor recreational opportunities to under-resourced populations. Through successful partnerships with low-income schools, cities and local non-profit organizations, the district has been able to increase access and awareness of outdoor recreation programs and services in the regional parks. Join SORP member Anne Kassebaum, and her colleagues from the East Bay Regional Park District as you learn how to develop strategies to successfully engage under-resourced populations, develop deep engagement experiences for youth and families in the outdoors and how to utilize community mapping to develop strategic partnerships for engagement and outreach.
Seeking public input through online surveys for resource management planning
Public input is an important factor when preparing a state park Resource Management Plan (RMP), the purpose of which is to document management responsibilities for balancing the use of water and land resources related to recreation. With the growing public demand for outdoor recreation, it is critical to take the public’s interests into consideration. Survey participants were obtained from various sources including Facebook, cabin and campground reservation, golf course membership, and state park friend groups. The SERVQUAL (Service quality survey) was modified to assess park visitors’ desired and perceived service quality for the Oklahoma State Park system. The results provide managers and decision-makers valuable long-term direction and guidelines for effective and efficient management of natural resources. The presentation focuses on the process of obtaining survey participants and developing the survey instrument. You won’t want to miss this session from SORP members Stella Liu and Nicky Wu from Oklahoma State University.
Join the Society of Outdoor Recreation Professionals for their 2014 National Outdoor Recreation Conference May 13-16 in San Francisco, California. Outdoor recreation professionals from local, special district, state, and federal agencies; private sector firms and consultants; university faculty and students; and non-profit organizations gather annually to share success stories, collaborate on challenging situations, and strategize new solutions.

Early bird rates are available through April 18. Register now to save $100 or more on your registration.

Are we using safety as an excuse not to spend time with people? Is here, “wear your helmet” taking the place of let me show you how to ride a bike?
Posted: January 22, 2014 Filed under: Uncategorized | Tags: #Safety, education, first aid, helmet, Outdoor recreation, Protective Gear, Recreation, Safe Gear Leave a commentIs our focus on safety an excuse allowing us to ignore safety? Safety is not in a helmet, padding or rules. Safety is knowing what to do, how to do something and what not to do. Education is safety.
It takes time to teach a kid how to ride a bike. It takes a long time to learn how to rock climb and place
protection. It takes a lifetime; sometimes short, to be a successful mountaineer.
A lot of climbers are taking shortcuts, it is easier to buy experience rather than gain it. However that is at least experience, time, someone to critique, lend support and at the right moment scream “don’t do that!”
You can’t buy a helmet and a safe bicycle and expect a child to not be injured.
You can’t rent a helmet and skis and expect your child to be safe on the slopes.
You can’t point to the summit and say, the top is up there.
Successful recreation takes time, not from the participants but from the parents, friends, mentors, teachers and instructors. It takes one on one learning what you need to teach to your student.
As educators and guides in the outdoor recreation arena, we need to point out the difference between the safety provided by gear and the safety of experience.
As outdoor recreation manufacturer’s we need to point out that the gear we are selling will help after all else has failed. Protection is not a replacement for skills, education and experience.
As parents, friends and people on the planet, we need to explain that outdoor recreation safety can’t be based on a credit card but is based on time. Get out there with a friend, relative or young ones and spend the time not just money.

Audience: Association of Outdoor Recreation and Education
Location: Keystone, Colorado
Date: 2010
Presentation: Wilderness First Aid http://rec-law.us/17L6pQB
This presentation looked at myths and realities of first aid and the special issues of wilderness first aid. It also examined the various state Good Samaritan statutes and why some first aid “designations” might now qualify under the act.

PowerPoint I gave at the NHEIC Risk Management Committee Meeting
Posted: May 22, 2013 Filed under: Risk Management | Tags: AdventureTravel, College, Jim Moss, Nazarene, NHEIC, Outdoor recreation, Risk Management, Ropes course Leave a commentGreat group of people working to keep their campuses moving, vibrant and under control
I have a presentation in early April to a group of college administrators. The power point for that presentation is: Things You Don’t Know and Should.
The presentation is difficult to understand as a standalone web based PowerPoint. You always need my personality to interpret what I do. However there are some interesting issues I covered.
· The different way college students view themselves versus how their parents view them, and the consequence to a college of that issue.
· The value of a well-written release to college programs
· Assumption of the risk is education at a college
· How to deal with an outdoor recreation disaster
· Why People Sue
· Who should handle your claims
· The legal issues that risk management plans create

GetOutdoorsColorado.org
Posted: April 30, 2013 Filed under: Colorado | Tags: Colorado, Colorado Parks & Recreation Association, Denver Botanic Gardens, Earth Day, Outdoor recreation, Parks and Recreation, United States Forest Service, Wildlife Leave a commentSPRING INTO THE OUTDOORS WITH GetOutdoorsColorado.org
Have you ever wanted to go for a hike, a bike ride, or try a new outdoor activity, but you weren’t sure where to go? In celebration of Earth Day, the Colorado Parks & Recreation Association and Get Outdoors Colorado are launched a new website called GetOutdoorsColorado.org to give people thousands of opportunities to explore and experience Colorado.
The new website is an online springboard to all activities and events outdoors in Colorado. GetOutdoorsColorado.org is free for organizations that provide outdoor events and experiences to post and share activities and programs. The website is free for the public to search activities and to create a customized membership for outdoor interests.
GetOutdoorsColorado.org is a Colorado-specific launch pad for people looking for new recreation, educational and stewardship opportunities. Activities and programs can be queried by
activity type, geographic location, date or organization. Members can post photos and videos of their adventures and even receive email reminders of activities. The website also offers a children’s resource section that features games, trail maps, outdoor myths and outdoor facts.
The interactive website is an outcome of a years’ worth of collaboration between US Forest Service, Colorado Parks and Wildlife, GP Red, Colorado Alliance for Environmental Education, Colorado Kids Outdoors, The Denver Botanic Gardens, The Colorado Parks and Recreation Association and many others. GetOutdoorsColorado.org has more than 80 partners posting activities in 25 different categories throughout 20 counties across the state. The website is also fully integrated on social media platforms to allow for greater connectivity statewide.
“The website is a great resource. It helps us showcase our events and programs to the public in a collaborative and accessible way, in addition to connecting us to a diverse partner network,” said Karl Brummert, Executive Director of the Audubon Society of Greater Denver.
Get Outdoors Colorado is made up of various federal, state and local agencies, nonprofits and for-profit companies that are dedicated to connecting children and families to nature and healthy, active, outdoor lifestyles.
“GetOutDoorsColorado.org is a unique resource for people searching for recreation opportunities across Colorado. With a wide range of partners including parks and recreation agencies, nonprofits as well as tourism organizations, there is an activity for everyone. The website has the ability to search for an activity by type and date in any area of Colorado and allows people anywhere in the state to find something close to home or close to where they are vacationing. It truly is a great way to find your next outdoor adventure,” said Cathy Metz, President of the Colorado Parks and Recreation Association and Director of Parks and Recreation for the City of Durango.
Log on and create an account during the week of April 22 to personalize your GetOutdoorsColorado.org experience and spring into the outdoors this Earth Day!
Issue of whether avalanches are an inherent risk of skiing in Colorado headed for appeal.
Posted: January 16, 2013 Filed under: Assumption of the Risk, Avalanche, Colorado, Ski Area | Tags: avalanche, Colorado, Lawsuit, Outdoor recreation, Vail, Vail Resort, Winter Park Leave a commentCourt in Vail case holds they are not, and court in Winter Park case holds they are an inherent risk.
A classic issue is going to be working itself up the appeal ladder in Colorado. In the two lawsuits over deaths in
English: A person cutting a sample from a snow pit in order to evaluate the risk of avalanches (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
avalanches, one court has ruled that avalanches are an inherent risk of skiing and therefore under the Co Skier Safety Act you cannot sue. The other court has ruled that avalanches are not covered under the act, and the lawsuit can continue.
The court in Winter Park held that avalanches are an inherent risk. The case against Vail ruled that avalanches are not an inherent risk.
The Vail case is about a 13-year-old boy who was killed in an Avalanche in January of 2012. See Judge: Vail Resorts can be sued for avalanche death. The Intrawest/Winter Park lawsuit is over a death of a man last year also. See Family of avalanche victim sues Winter Park
Probably, because of the different ruling, if the parties do not settle the suit, the Winter Park lawsuit will appeal the case which will affect the Vail litigation eventually.
One effect of the suit is Winter Park changed its release for season passes this year to include a risk that the release covers, and the signor assumes.
Attached is the order in the Winter Park case from the trial court.

2013 National Outdoor Recreation Conference
Posted: December 4, 2012 Filed under: Uncategorized | Tags: International Union of Forest Research Organizations, Management, Outdoor recreation, Society of Outdoor Recreation Professionals, Traverse City Michigan Leave a commentInternational Union of Forest Research Organizations Conference on Forests for People and Society of Outdoor Recreation Professionals
May 19-23, 2013, Traverse City, Michigan USA
We are pleased to offer this exciting and unique joint forum. These two research/educational programs will be seamlessly blended, while still retaining the individual identity of the two host organizations. You will have the opportunity to submit a presentation(s), host a poster session, and attend any session of these two educational programs.
One registration form and one registration fee will cover both conferences. The program will offer several joint sessions and field workshops, along with separate concurrent sessions tailored directly to the related themes of each conference. The sessions will be carefully synchronized to allow participants to move across as many as seven choices.
This is a new model for professional education and development tailored for these difficult economic times. With the co-location and the joint administration of the programs, participants will have more opportunities and a greater experience.
This joint call for presentations and posters allows you to target your presentation and/or poster session to the conference and theme that meets your needs. People submitting abstracts will be asked to indicate which conference and sub-themes best fits with the content of their abstract.
2nd IUFRO Conference on Forest for People
The aim of this conference by the International Union of Forest Research Organizations (IUFRO) is to build a systematic body of knowledge about “forests for people” and its various facets, including possible future trends and challenges. The conference theme, “A Growing Interdisciplinary Task,” aims to integrate knowledge from various disciplines inside and outside of forestry such as tourism, recreation, education, urban planning and many others.
The main sub-themes of FFP are:
• Livelihoods — issues of agro-forestry, food security, fuels, poverty alleviation, and human dislocation
• Health, Recreation and Tourism — issues of human health, recreation, and nature-based tourism
• Urban and Rural Landscapes — issues of ecosystem services, economic benefit and development, spaces and places for living, and urban forestry
• Culture and Education — issues of perceptions of forests, spiritual character, education, historical tradition and practice, communication and governance
2013 National Outdoor Recreation Conference
The Society of Outdoor Recreation Professionals is proud to be sponsoring the 2013 National Outdoor Recreation Conference. The theme of the 2013 is “A Bridge to Prosperity” that will highlight and showcase best practices and case examples on how the outdoor recreation profession (planning, management, research and policy) is a bridge, connector and catalyst for prosperity through tourism, jobs, health and wellness, personal enjoyment and re-creation, education, environmental values and stewardship and sustainable communities.
“A Bridge to Prosperity” will also be examined for the context of four perspectives:
• Planning
• Management
• Research
• Policy and Administration
Presentations
Research presentations are 20 minutes in length (15 minute presentation with 5 minutes for questions). Management sessions are 1.5 hours in length with 2-4 presenters. Each presentation will be followed by a few minutes of questions. Session leads may customize the format of the session to help ensure a quality learning experience. Selected presenters will be contacted well in advance with more details. The meeting rooms will provide a laptop computer, digital projector, screen, lectern, and audio system (in the larger rooms). Special requests for eraser boards, dissolve units, video equipment and other specialized equipment will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis. Please include any special requests in your proposal. Following the conference, the session presentations and handouts will be posted on the host websites, unless you request otherwise.
Poster Sessions
Participants are invited to submit an abstract for a poster presentation. Posters will be on display during the conference, with special attention given at the Opening Reception when attendees will have a chance to visit and ask questions. Tripods will be provided and placed in the large meeting room where breaks will be taken, helping to ensure opportunities for interaction. The conference will not provide foam core or other supplies and materials to mount the posters. We ask that you investigate local sources if your plan is to assemble on-site.
Abstracts
The deadline for research abstract submittal has been extended to January 15, 2013
People may submit several abstracts for either presentations and/or posters. One submission is required for each proposed presentation and/or poster session. It is important that each abstract includes all the required information.
Response to Abstract Submissions
All proposals will be peer reviewed and selected on the basis of relevance and appropriateness for this conference. Because of the limited number of program times available, not all proposals are guaranteed a place in the schedule. All participants submitting an abstract will be notified as to acceptance or rejection by February 1, 2013.
Submission Information
All abstracts should be submitted in English and emailed to Brenda Adams-Weyant at Brenda@RecPro.org.
Conference Information
Conference information will be posted and updated regularly at http://www.recpro.org/2013-sorp-ffp-conference. Registration is expected to open in mid-January.
