Wilderness Leadership
The Wilderness Leadership emphasis enables students to develop a high degree of expertise in a variety of technical, adventure-based activities. Wilderness Leadership provides students with the skills and ability to guide and instruct others in a safe, enriching, and responsible manner, in activities such as whitewater rafting, sea kayaking, rock climbing, mountaineering, and skiing. this includes accepting wide-ranging responsibilities for the health and well-being of both clients and the environments where the activities take place. In order to support good decision making and appropriate actions, leadership training goes far beyond learning the use of low-impact camping and travel practices. Issues surrounding the environment, economics, culture, ethics, recreational management of public lands, and changing social values and demographics are all part of this competence.
