NOLS Pro Expedition and Film

NOLS Professional Training specializes in custom courses for groups and organizations seeking the leadership, teamwork and outdoor skills that have distinguished NOLS for over 40 years. Although a current custom course in Prince William Sound is no exception, it reinforces the progress that NOLS has made to facilitate growth in a way that few other courses could. 12 students from the National College of Physical Education and Sports in Taiwan have joined three NOLS instructors and one film crew for a sea kayaking expedition that will lead them through some of Alaska’s most beautiful landscapes, including Blackstone Bay. The course group includes a student who climbed Denali last summer, a student who bicycled around the world, and a student that did an 80-day traverse of Taiwan. That these particular students are skilled outdoorsmen and women who attend a premier experiential education institution in Taiwan speaks not only to the scope of NOLS Pro, but also to the high regard in which it’s held. After 10 days in the field, the students will return to Taiwan with the skills to lead their own sea kayaking courses, and the stories, lessons and pictures to inspire successors. Check the NOLS website for upcoming course anecdotes and adventures caught on tape by the Taiwanese film crew.
