Just a brief call today; the satellite phone connection wasn't very good tonight. Everyone's well. Kevin hiked up and went skiing. Tomorrow they are going to cache some supplies higher, then return to their current camp. G'night!
The certificate in Outdoor Skills and Leadership at the University of Alaska Southeast is an intensive nine-month humanities program that offers students the opportunity to better understand their relation to the natural world and to develop skills and characteristics that are essential to success as an individual, a group member, and a leader in outdoor and adventure settings. The program incorporates outdoor risk management, leadership skills, specific outdoor activity skills, and academic work. The combination of outdoor and academic courses is designed to develop not only knowledge but also personal traits such as self-reliance and good judgment. Students working to become outdoor professionals, wanting to achieve more general goals related to personal development and leadership, or wanting to better understand the natural world will benefit from the program.
