Volunteer Outdoor Leader Training

Interested in giving back to your community by leading therapeutic outdoor adventures?

Another Summit is looking for volunteers to join our team and help us serve the guardian community by leading therapeutic outdoor adventures. Through our 2-part training course, you’ll learn the necessary skills to plan and lead single-day outings, and join a team of avid outdoor enthusiasts. Over the course of two weekends, you’ll learn vital skills and information such as:

• Leave No Trace

• Wilderness First Aid

• Planning

• Leadership & Judgement

• Risk Management

• Group Management

• Emergency Management

Our first weekend will focus on essential planning skills and cover basic information that outdoor leaders need to know to lead trips. The second weekend will be a 16 hour Wilderness First Aid certification course. Once you’ve completed both weekend sessions, you’ll be certified as an Another Summit Outdoor Leader.
