Learn to be a competent trip leader and acquire life-long skills through this continuous 20-day backpacking experience! The Leadership Training Backpack provides excellent instruction to older teens on how to manage groups and conflict, travel confidently in the outdoors, and deal with unplanned situations. Many graduates of this program have gone on to work with the AMC. You will focus on gaining the knowledge and experience outdoor leaders need to be successful like route, food, and equipment planning as well as learning group development and decision making skills. An on-the-trail certification in Wilderness First Aid will train you to manage backcountry emergencies. You will have the opportunity to lead the group and to handle simulated emergencies. The trip culminates with planning and executing a small group expedition. Pre-registration form must be approved prior to registration; it can be found online at www.outdoors.org/teenwilderness.
