Upcoming Trip Leader Training Fall 2009
Informational meeting - November 23rd, 7:00pm
Wilderness First Aid Certification - December 4th-6th
Who Qualifies & What is Training like?
Everyone and Anyone qualifies. This includes Students, Faculty / Staff and Community members.
We are really looking for mature, outgoing, and responsible individuals capable of learning what it takes to become a Trip Leader. If you choose to take this on you will be able to organize, plan, pack and lead wilderness trips here in the upper Midwest all the way to the Gulf Coast and beyond.
Stout Adventures provides several training opportunities throughout the year in which you can choose to participant. Each one will take you closer to becoming a Trip Leader. From earning your Wilderness First Aid Certification, to attending a multi-day practicum in the wilderness, you will learn what it takes to become a great leader. This opportunity is not to be taken lightly. You will be given a lot of responsibility; however you are rewarded with experiences many never receive in places many dream of visiting. As a volunteer trip leader, you are not paid, but all your travel related expenses are provided.
