Fall Seminar

The Fall Session of our Outdoor Growth and Leadership Seminar is designed to provide an introduction to our training process for participants in our 8 Month Training Program, to introduce the range of technical skills the program encompasses, and to assist participants in more carefully planning their goals for the remainder of the training. It is also an opportunity for those who wish to sample our training to see if they wish to participate in the 5 Month Training Program which begins in January. The following provisional schedule includes those field activities available to all participants in the 8 Month Training or those who commit to the full Fall Program. A weekend only training option may be available at reduced tuition and longer seminars/trips may be taken for the tuition listed. It is expected that all participants will take part in weekly classes and group sessions. Each person is responsible for their own attendance and no refunds are granted for unattended sessions though programs may be made-up in future programs.

WEEKLY SESSIONS:

Wednesdays, 3 to 9PM. Begins September 14 and concludes December 16. The first two sessions deal with introductions, organizational concerns, and sharing personal goals and needs. Subsequent sessions involve group process and personal sharing, training contracts and issues, equipment and logistics planning, communications, conflict and negotiation, deep ecology and counseling approaches. Tai Chi and yoga training are offered weekly.
