  • Equipping – students with essential skills for safely planning and leading outdoor excursions.  Courses are available in Wilderness First Aid, Navigation, Canoeing and Kayaking, Camping & Backpacking, Scuba Diving, Outdoor Leadership Techniques, Camp Management & Leadership, and Adventure Based Leadership.   
      
  • Engaging – the natural world in classes that facilitate a better understanding of and appreciation for the environment.  Leave-no-trace ethics are taught and carefully observed as students learn simple and memorable techniques for stewardship.
     
  • Expanding – student aptitudes for self-reflection, interpersonal communication, peer-leadership and crisis decision making.  These courses are specifically designed to push individual comfort zones.  Participants should expect rigorous challenges, ranging from full-length research papers on leadership disasters to winter hiking and backpacking on the Appalachian Trail.
