Description
The 2-year Outdoor Leadership Program provides the training and technical
skills necessary to students interested in pursuing post-secondary education and/or
employment in the many professions that relate to the outdoors. Additionally, graduates
gain the skills and confidence they need to pursue leadership positions in any industry.
Students are challenged physically, mentally, and academically while developing their
potential for leadership, teamwork, and service using the outdoor world as their
classroom. Applicants are evaluated for attitude, responsibility, maturity, work
ethic, and ability to work as part of a team. Students are required to be physically
fit, attend every class, and participate fully.
