Does anyone know of any outdoor education programs?

Asked by aviona (3260points) March 18th, 2009

Has anyone done (and would recommend) or know of any outdoor education programs similar to NOLS. I’m looking for something short term preferably.

Thanks!

Outward Bound?

I did a 3 week trip when I was 14 and it was amazing.

I forgot about Outward Bound! Thanks. I’ll check it out!

Oh, and I forgot to mention, it would be great if it were a program that gives college credit, like NOLS.

I’d recommend Outward Bound or look into Experiential Learning (I think Lesley University has a good course) courses and see if your school will let you do a “study abroad/visiting student” type deal for credit.

I’ll second NOLS. They have a variety of outdoor learning classes and offer university credits as well.

Thanks @amanderveen. That’s pretty much what I’m leaning toward, now.
