WY Not: Students of the Wilderness

Where the wilderness becomes a classroom and students become leaders.
Every decision has a repercussion- with those outcomes, an opportunity to learn is created. Relying heavily on experiential education, the National Outdoor Leadership School (NOLS) works with over 24,000 students a year. Students are pushed to their potential in courses in rock climbing, backpacking, sailing, skiing and more.
