greetings & welcome back...
...and big welcome to all first year student this reaches! after
careful consideration re: balancing outdoor program and doctoral
program demands, i've decided to offer the wilderness education and
leadership class in a more intensive format (more field time, less
class time) this fall.
while there are no prerequisites for this class to register,
students with previous 3 season back country living skills will
benefit most. This is not to designed to be a "learn to hike and
camp" class nor is it an Outward Bound experience with emphasis on
stress challenge.the class focus is on wilderness leadership history
& pedagogy, developing critical skills as field instructors and
consideration of environmental ethics, safety, judgement and decision
making issues.
please share class description with others you feel would be
interested. feel free to drop a note with questions. best
