LA 305 - Advanced Foundations of Outdoor Leadership (2)

Students improve upon leadership and backcountry skills as they mentor the LA 205 class. Students work independently to further develop the skills, judgement, and decision-making necessary to plan and facilitate hiking, backpacking, and camping trips, including the planning of field experience logistics, equipment, food, appropriate routes, risk management plans, and land use permits. The course requires field experiences, and some unconventional class times including nights, weekends, and multi-day outings. Prerequisite: LA 205 and permission of instructor. Fall.
