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. Financial aid is also available.

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.

What do you want out of this summer? If you want a challenge, some new skills, and a wilderness experience you'll never forget, pick out the course that's right for you from the list below.
