WOLF 12-Day Wilderness Leadership Courses:
This course is designed for those individuals who are seeking exposure to a wide-variety of wilderness leadership skills and training, and how and when to apply them.
The wilderness of New England will serve as the host for our expedition also our learning and development areas. It is a great place to connect with nature, practice awareness and outdoor skills, be challenged, and discover your own unique leadership style. We will camp in high alpine areas, hike ridge lines, paddle clear lakes and scout rapids from the shore line, we'll see alpine flowers, cross creeks, traverse over mountain passes, and climb (weather permitting) to spectacular views from the summits of Mt, Marcy, or Mt Washington & other near by high peaks. Through experience, fun lectures, and group discussion we will plan, trip preparation, safety, survival, guiding, basic mountaineering, and outdoor teaching. We will also learn how to read a topo map and learn how to use a compass, how to navigate safely through remote mountain terrain, how to facilitate a group, and understand group dynamics. We will also explore the metaphorical, spiritual, and therapeutic elements of the wilderness experience.
Lead with confidence.
This course is planned for a small group of 3 to 10 participants.
