Field Leader Hiking Course

October 18 @ 9:00 am - October 19 @ 5:00 pm ADT
$150

Outdoor Council of Canada’s 2 Day Field Leader Hiking Course provides the foundations for learning judgment and decision making and enabling the leadership of safe and enjoyable experiences outside. Taking OCC courses will give you the ability to:

  • Bring a group to an outdoor environment.
  • Provide a meaningful experience for your group, whether the purpose is educational, pleasure, health, well-being, and/or connecting with nature.
  • Design a safe experience within the limits of your ability.
  • Identify the limit of your abilities and adjust accordingly.
  • Feel reassured knowing you are using industry-accepted practices providing proper care to participants and ensuring due diligence.

Field Leader courses focus on the leadership skills and attributes required to take a group outdoors and provide an effective framework for managing risks.Courses include instruction and practice on planning and preparing an outdoor trip within an organizational structure. Our courses apply for outdoor clubs, camps, outfitters, schools, community programs, outdoor centres, or any other context where outdoor activities are part of programming.Courses are designed to prepare Field Leaders to lead others in low-risk terrain. Our leadership courses are complementary to other outdoor courses such as technical skills and first aid. With sufficient experience and training, Field Leaders can lead others in higher-risk terrain and remain within their Scope of Practice without needing more advanced training with the OCC.
