Course Schedule

This workshop is a mix of brainstorming and discussion-based exploration of the things most people don't think about, practice, or plan in advance until they're immersed in the situation.

We also spend a couple hours working through scenarios, including improvised stretcher building to get the creative juices flowing and get everyone working together.

The workshop includes:

• Pre-trip planning
  • human considerations
  • skill levels and risk acceptance
  • environmental factors
  • communicating a plan
  • 10 Essentials
• Group Management
  • at the trailhead
  • 5 minutes in
  • throughout the trip
  • post-trip debriefing
• Leadership and Interpersonal Skills
• Conflict Management
• Emergency Management
  • lost
  • injured
  • spending the night
• Real-life scenarios encourage teamwork, problem solving, and communication while responding to a problem like a broken leg. 
  Participants jump into action to devise improvised stretchers using whatever items are available in their packs and in their environment
