Welcome to the second offering of this course, as we quickly filled up registration to the November one. Please note that this course is a prerequisite for the OCC Multi-Day Field Leader Certification course, which will be offered in May 2025. If you're wanting to organize backpacking trips for either the club or just a group of your friends, that will be a very helpful leadership course to have under your belt. "This 16-hour course will teach you the foundation of outdoor leadership for day-long hiking trips in 3 seasons. Our systematic approach enables you to learn industry-accepted practices and implement them in your context." Course Info (from the instructor): "To be hiking leaders, participants should have some hiking experience and be able to participate in a low risk natural environment hike on a designated trail while carrying what they will need for the day outside. Participants must have the physical ability to hike on a footpath with rocks and roots, etc. Participants are required to read a manual beforehand. Participants who successfully meet the course outcomes will earn Outdoor Council of Canada Field Leader – Hiking certification along with the necessary skills to be a confident hiking leader in 3 seasons. Most of the instruction will be in the classroom with some experiential lessons on the trail. There is some travel, usually by car, from the classroom space to local outdoor areas and participants are responsible for their own transportation to the course and between the classroom and the outdoor area. Participants must attend the full 2 day -day course in order to receive certification."
