Pacific Northwest Trip Leader
 

Washington’s wilderness areas are ideal training grounds for learning how to lead backpacking trips. Here you’ll join a diverse group of trip leaders for a packed overview of the NOLS curriculum.

The length and cost of this course is designed for potential outdoor leaders and educators who don’t have a lot of time or a huge budget but are motivated to learn the ABCs of leading groups in the backcountry.

You’ll learn common leadership strategies through dynamic, on-the-trail teaching methods including scenarios, real-time problem solving and experiential learning. You’ll learn the intricacies of planning a trip that’s not based out of an outfitted facility and how to outfit expeditions of your own.

Our students leave the Pacific Northwest with a higher level of competence and an inspiration to lead.
