So in addition to offering an outings program the section also schedules a series of courses and workshops. Courses are taught by local qualified instructors and can range from one to several days in length. Common topics are wilderness first aid, orienteering, wilderness survival, rock climbing and rescue, avalanche safety, ice climbing, telemark skiing, and winter camping are offered. At a national level we offer summer, winter and ski mountaineering adventures, custom guiding and leadership training.
Workshops are less formal and are typically presented by our own members.
The workshops are often skills refreshers and will also include some more general topics. If you are interested in participating please contact the organizer listed for the course or workshop. It can be difficult to plan these events as far in advance as the publishing deadline for the newsletter requires. Please consult this web site or subscribe to the section's email announcement system for the most up to date information. Leading on ice.
