DownloadUsually one week in length, Alumni Trips are designed for NOLS graduates and their friends and families. These trips allow busy grads to reconnect with the school and other alumni, enjoy an outdoor adventure, and introduce those you love to the NOLS experience.
Find Your TripInstruction on Alumni Trips is informal and relaxed. You’ll review and practice Leave No Trace skills, learn technical skills, and touch on other NOLS curriculum, all depending on interest. Non-grad family and friends are welcome to join you on most alumni trips!
If you’re looking for an experience that we don’t offer, we’ll work with you to create a custom trip for your friends, family, or colleagues.
Past trips have sailed in Baja, hiked in Wyoming's Wind River Range, explored Utah's canyons, paddled Arctic rivers, and much more. Group sizes range from 4 to 12 and ages 8 to 80, so we can be creative.
