Wilderness Education & Outdoor Leadership

Wilderness Tahoe Views
 
91重口鈥檚 Wilderness Education and Outdoor Leadership Program challenges the status quo by thinking and educating differently. We do this so you can develop your leadership, technical, and teaching skills to become an impactful leader. Your classroom is Lake Tahoe and the Sierra Nevada, a premier wilderness environment. Come and join us - the mountains are calling! 
 
The purpose of the Wilderness Education and Outdoor Leadership (WEOL) program is to provide opportunities to cultivate premier leaders who primarily operate in a wilderness environment. In addition, theWEOL program fosters lifelong learning, develops responsible stewardship of wilderness resources, and encourages civic engagement. Both nationally and internationally recognized industry certifications are embedded within the elective WEOL Employable Certificates you can earn. These include the National Association for Search and Rescue, the American Avalanche Association and American Institute for Avalanche Research and Education, the American Mountain Guides Association, the International Rafting Federation, and the American Canoe Association, just to name a few.
 
The WEOL program uses a holistic and experiential approach to all aspects of education within the curriculum. Our emphasis is on helping every student achieve their full potential while maintaining the highest technical standards.
