"NOLS, the premier teacher of outdoor skills and leadership, offer courses 10 days to full semesters in the world's most spectacular classrooms"
That's the tagline for the website of the 'National Outdoor Leadership School', a US-based outdoor school where people can join to learn skills like backpacking, climbing, kayaking, mountaineering, wilderness first aid etc for days and days on end. Think Outward Bound but on a much grander scale, in locations ranging from Patagonia to NZ, among other places outside of the US itself. Someday, maybe next year, or further down the road, I promise myself to go for one of its Outdoor Educator's course.
I always imagine what an incredible life-changing experience these courses will be for teenagers if they last through it ably - It will undoubtedly mould them with indelible positive lessons that will carry them through their lives. My second dream is that my children next time will go through a semester of NOLS also.
Go request for their catalogue online - it's free and they will ship it to your mailbox! You'll get pages and pages of awesome paranomic pictures and details of courses to light sparks in your heart and make you wish for adventures like those.
