At NOLS, we take people on real wilderness expeditions in remote areas. These aren't guided tours: You won't be sitting in a bus while the scenery is described to you over an intercom. You'll be living in the backcountry, seeing it up close and in person.

You'll learn to be a leader. You'll practice technical skills like summitting peaks and running rapids–all while earning college credit.

By the end of your course, you'll have the knowledge to travel responsibly and safely in the backcountry while leaving a minimal impact on the land. You'll reap the benefits of our 40 years of teaching experience and our highly skilled staff.

Summer Semester Courses
All NOLS semesters are broken into a series of expeditions, called sections. These sections run from two weeks to a month in length and cover a wide variety of outdoor skill areas. They are as varied as your desire to learn. This variety means you’ll leave your NOLS semester with a series of valuable outdoor skills and experience in a number of different environments.
