Outdoor and Rec Athletics 0218 - Outdoor Leadership

Develop your skills as a leader in the outdoors that will apply to your own adventures or leading trips for others. The Outdoor Leadership class will focus on leadership theory and skills with the goal of developing strong facilitators, risk managers, community members, and stewards of outdoor spaces. While this course is not solely focused on sport skill development, we will spend much of our time outdoors leading and participating in different outdoor activities like skiing, hiking, shoe shoeing, land navigation, backpacking, and orienteering. By the end of the course, each student will have been responsible for leading a trip and providing valuable feedback to their peers on trips they've participated in. Students who participate in the Leadership course may find opportunities facilitating or co-facilitating OPRA weekend trips and pre orientation trips.

Partial CEL 1 Credit.
