Give students experience in planning, leading and evaluating an adventure program. Students should expect to learn both technical and interpersonal skills relating to adventure activities. This class follows cutting edge principles and practices of adventure education. Outward Bound in particular is a role model. The class operates like a small outdoor program.
Students are responsible for all areas of programming.
Like any professional outdoor program, students must interview for any openings on the staff. The existing staff chooses new leaders through consensus. The interviews are designed to ascertain a student's level of technical and interpersonal skills. Students in this class will have a great deal of responsibility. It is important for both the success of the class and the safety of the program that only mature, responsible and committed students are involved.
