Sierra Club Outings Leader Training Workshop | |
|
The Outdoor Activity Training Program is bringing its highly successful Outings Leader Training Workshop back to northern California. The purpose of this training is to provide leaders with the skills to address leadership and group management issues that may arise on short outings (day-hikes) and longer duration, more remote outings. Leader training is a never-ending process, so whether you're an old hand or have never led before, you're invited to attend a weekend of interactive learning, networking with leaders from all outing programs, and of course, lots of fun. This training event is brought to you by the Outdoor Activities Training Program (OATP), managed in the Outings Department of the National office. This is the only Outings Leader Training workshop in the region this year! WHERE: At Clair Tappaan Lodge in Norden, CA. WHEN: June 9-11, 2006. (Fri-Sun) Check-in & dinner from 6 pm. Opening program begins Friday at 7:30 pm sharp. Workshop ends with lunch on Sunday at 12:00 pm. COST: $45. This includes all meals, snacks, lodging (bunk style), materials, raffle entry, & a t-shirt. WORKSHOP DETAILS: The goals of the workshop are to learn and enhance leadership and group management skills; to bring people and programs together to share and exchange ideas; to welcome new outdoor leaders; to learn what it takes to lead for other outings programs of the Sierra Club; and once again, to have a lot of fun. This workshop is for new and seasoned leaders from Sierra Club's Inner City Outings (ICO), Group & Chapter Outings (GCO), and National Outings (NO). |
The workshop agenda includes interactive modules on trip planning, group management, interpersonal leadership skills, emergency response and much more.
