NOLS GIVES YOU THE SUPPORT OF THE BEST
STAFF IN WILDERNESS EDUCATION.
BEST STAFF, BEST RESULTS
NOLS' strength is its staff of nearly 800 individuals worldwide,
every one of them dedicated to delivering high quality wilderness
education. NOLS staff are driven by the school's mission and inspired
by our graduates who are active, positive leaders with environmental
ethics and outdoor skills.
THE BEST SUPPORT
The NOLS program isn't farmed out to subcontractors. Our expedition
team takes care of all those little details that make your
NOLS experience a great adventure: great gear properly fit; good,
nutritious food and plenty of it; awe-inspiring backcountry; cutting-edge
curriculum; and industry-leading risk management. This
attention to detail means that NOLS consistently delivers the most
fun, educational wilderness adventures available anywhere.
THE BEST INSTRUCTORS
NOLS is without peer when it comes to selecting and training our
instructional staff. NOLS instructors get their start at other outdoor
programs. After gaining experience and a competitive selection
process, they are ready for NOLS instructor training and an apprenticeship.
Only then are they able to teach for NOLS.
And that is just the start. NOLS instructors can participate in
more than 60 instructor seminars to further hone their skills and,
with help from the NOLS Instructor Development Fund, they embark
on ambitious expeditions worldwide. This training and experience
means that you'll learn skills, develop leadership and have
the time of your life!
