Sixty years of wilderness leadership
Since our first course departed Sinks Canyon, Wyoming in 1965, NOLS has grown from a single mountain program into a global wilderness school. Thank you for six decades of expeditions, education, and leadership.
Thank you!
From all of us at NOLS, thank you! Your presence and energy made our 60th Anniversary celebration in Lander truly unforgettable. Whether we were sharing stories, laughing over meals, or reflecting on the school’s legacy and future, it was the people who brought the week to life.
If you couldn’t join us this time, please know you were missed. We hope you’ll feel connected through the stories, photos, and memories that emerged from the gathering, and we'll continue sharing more in the weeks ahead.
We are grateful for your continued support of NOLS and the community that makes this school so special. Here’s to carrying the spirit of the 60th forward into the next chapter.
