• Your course will have a strong focus on being an adaptable team member or having the ability to distinguish between the roles of “team member” (active follower) and “team leader” (designated leader).
• You will learn and develop both technical wilderness skills and interpersonal skills. This combination will allow you to function effectively as a group in a powerful and dynamic environment.
• You’ll live with two or three other students in a “cook group.” These small groups help disperse our impact on the land and enable you to develop the art of backcountry cooking and living.
• You’ll also travel in small groups, usually of four to six people, again to disperse impact and enhance learning opportunities.
