re you an active or aspiring outdoor educator? This is your opportunity to develop the knowledge and skills necessary for teaching and leading field-based wilderness education programs.
While in the desert, you’ll learn basic outdoor living skills such as minimum-impact camping, first aid, and map reading.
We’ll also give you an inside track into the fundamentals of running wilderness education courses with an overview of program supervision, risk management, and NOLS administrative practices.
While building a foundation of program knowledge, the course dives into a 19-day backpacking expedition in the pristine desert landscape of the Kofa National Wildlife Refuge followed by 10 days of rock climbing at Cochise Stronghold, a maze of granite pinnacles in the Dragoon Mountains.
