Description
Ever wonder how to navigate through timber to a rocky point above treeline? Are you willing to spend the night out under the stars in the company of others exploring the value of wilderness experiences?
The Wilderness Leadership course may be the right choice for you. The mountains of Colorado become the classroom for this exploration of wilderness leadership. Being safe and competent in the out doors is more than technical skills, it involves a deeper understanding of yourself and other in an adventure context. This course involves 14 evening sessions supported by three field trips.
Important Information
This course is a hands-on Tuesday night course with three field sessions. First field session: Wilderness Backpacking September 20-21; Second field session: Rock Climbing October 25; Third field session: Challenge Ropes Course November 15.
