Outdoor Courses
Outdoor Skills Workshops provide specialized training in technical outdoor skills as rock climbing, backcountry and telemark skiing, wilderness backpacking, mountaineering, canyoneering, and whitewater rafting. Our approach focuses on innovative ways to learn these skills that are holistic and focus on self-awareness and the integration of mind/body learning. Our emphasis is on safe procedures, sound environmental practice, and exploring personal limits. Our interest is on how these activities can become lifelong practices.
BREAKING THROUGH ADVENTURES
Breaking Through Adventures are transformational outdoor experiences which see nature and wilderness as a medium for personal discovery, interpersonal growth, community building, and connection with a higher reality and sense of wholeness. Such programs explore self in relation to nature and others, uncover our interdependence with all beings, and examine our place in a larger cosmos. Climbing a peak, rafting a river, or soloing in a desert canyon become explorations of personal consciousness and opportunities for self-reflection. Deep ecology and ecopsychology are guiding principles for these experiences.
LEADERSHIP TRAINING
Leadership Training Programs seek to develop transformational outdoor leaders whose orientation is holistic and who are attuned to the nuances and integration of the physical, intellectual, emotional and spiritual components of adventure experiences. Outdoor skills and technical competencies are essential but we give equal emphasis and commitment to intrapersonal growth, interpersonal dynamics, development of community, spiritual awareness, and commitment to social and ecological literacies. An integral approach to all training and learning is encouraged.
