Course Description:
'' Are you an active or aspiring outdoor educator? If so, we’ve designed this course for you. 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 “hard skills�such as backcountry travel, adapting minimum-impact techniques to an arid ecosystem, first aid, and map reading. We will 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.
After building a foundation of program knowledge, the course dives into a 19-day backpacking expedition in the remote Kofa National Wildlife Refuge where you’ll learn or polish the backcountry skills you need to lead others on wilderness trips.
Then 10 days of rock climbing at Cochise Stronghold, a maze of granite pinnacles in the Dragoon Mountains where the Chiricahua Apache and their leader, Cochise, took refuge, rounds out the curriculum. Renowned for its excellent climbing, the Cochise provides an ideal classroom for learning rock climbing skills such as anchor systems, knots, and top-rope site management.
