Andersen said they decided to keep the group separate from DSU because of liability. Activities they do, such as cliff jumping, can pose a risk to individuals if students aren't cautious. If Dixie Outdoors became an official club of DSU, each student who attended their activities would be required to fill out release forms, Mitchell said. So instead of involving the university, Andersen and Mitchell elected not to apply for a club charter. "With this, we're not limited," Mitchell said. "There are no caps on how many people can come." Each individual is held responsible for their own safety when they're on an adventure with the Dixie Outdoors group. Andersen and Mitchell try to plan activities at least every other weekend, if not every weekend. They organize hiking trips, swimming, camping trips and other outings.
