Leading a group on a multi-day trip either in a base camp setting or a backcountry setting requires extensive training in outdoor camping skills, effective first aid, judgment and decision making, leadership and group facilitation. The final part of OA Leader Training is the Leader Training Trip (LTT), a 6-day trip which pulls together all of the skills you have been learning all semester.

This is the complete schedule for anyone doing FastTrack OA Leader Training during Spring Break.  Everyone needs to take all 5 days of HEART Wilderness First Aid classes.  To keep the class sizes small, everyone will be assigned to one of 2 groups for HEART and Technical Skills classes (X or Y), as well as a time & date for CPR.

Specific class assignments will be emailed to participants in March.

Contemplative Nature is a series of experiential programs, from silent nature walks to half-day outdoor retreats, designed to introduce students to the many ways in which the natural world can complement their own contemplative practices--and to gain an appreciation for how cultivating their own practice can help them develop their relationship to, and stewardship of, the living world around them.
