Outdoor
Leaders School
Train with a nationally recognized program.
Our program is designed to provide outdoor
leadership training that can only enhance
your ability to lead in an outdoor setting.
Each course is active and provides an
opportunity for in-depth training that
camp staff training periods cannot always
cover.
All of our courses are taught by field
professionals. You will walk away with
solid training, growth in your skills,
and most importantly, confidence to provide
positive experiences for the people in
your care.
