OUTDOOR EDUCATOR EXPEDITIONS

Our Outdoor Educator courses are specifically designed to produce the best outdoor educators in the industry. Becoming an outdoor educator takes hard work. And a certain strength of character that is earned; not given. These expeditions offer hands-on teaching experience – so participants can develop top-notch technical skills. With an emphasis on student dynamics, group and individual facilitation, and safety and risk management, Instructor courses prepare future instructors to be elite leaders and compassionate educators with proven and practical expertise.

Thanks to generous donations from alumni, parents, corporations, foundations and others, our network of regional schools offer scholarships and financial aid. Learn more here.
