LEADERSHIP COURSE

Printer-friendly version

Experience. Empower. Lead. Leadership is the ability to influence, motivate,
and enable others to contribute toward success. Does this inspire you? The
Leadership Course is for girls who want a more advanced backcountry
experience combined with the objective of sharpening their leadership skills
and using their voice with confidence. You'll rock climb near Steamboat
Springs, then embark on an extended backpacking trip in the stunning Mt.
Zirkel Wilderness Area. This twelve-day course allows time to form an
especially tight knit group in which to explore leadership style, personal
goals and develop skills you can use at school and work. You will
progressively take on full responsibility for leading your expedition by
developing your map and compass, orienteering, and backcountry safety
skills. Includes a follow-up community project that will involve leading
others. Some previous backpacking experience required.
