Safety is a key aspect to all Derech Hateva programs. All Derech Hateva groups follow the strict security protocols outlined by SPNI to offer participants a highly secure and safe environment. At SPNI the Cheder Matzav (a call-center that is in contact with guides in the field and coordinates assistance in the event of emergency) is in operation 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
Asside from monitoring groups on the trail, the Cheder Matzav monitors environmental trends such as weather, as well as security force updates. All program routes must be pre-approved for security by certified SPNI experts before being traveled. Our guides are first-aid trained and experienced in the outdoors. Definitive care facilities are located throughout the country.
If you have any questions or concerns regarding participant safety while in Israel or on a Derech Hateva's program, please contact us.
