Building upon the skills and dispositions they have developed during their wilderness trip experience,  all semester students participate in a four-day, on-campus outdoor leadership program. This next level of outdoor education includes a two-day Wilderness First Aid course, taught by Wilderness Medical Associates International, which certifies each student is trained in the basics of first aid best practices in a wilderness setting. Students may also obtain CPR certification. An additional two days are spent in an encampment on our 400 acres, where students hone the skills needed to successfully complete a solo-camping experience.
