Field Leader Program
"Coming from a background of Outdoor Education I believe the OCC’s Field Leader Training Course is the missing link in outdoor certification. Finally there is something that hits on the importance of interpersonal skills when facilitating. I think this training is essential for anyone leading groups in the outdoors who wishes to foster positive and lasting impacts for their participants."
–Adrienne, Manager of Student Leadership Programs
