SUMMARY:Hiking/Trail Running Field Leader
DESCRIPTION:This course is designed for leaders interested in leading a Hiking or Trail Running group. \nThe trail running and hiking community has grown immensely over the last few years with more races and events out there for everyone to experience in varying terrain and epic locations. This means trail runners are getting out there to train\, more meetup groups are being created\, and more mountain adventures are being planned. These races and events provide a moderately controlled environment for people to explore the great outdoors which gives people a false sense of security when they head out on their own to train or adventure. This course is going to teach you how to lead\, prepare and plan for group or solo trail runs.

SUMMARY:The Outdoor Council of Canada Field Leader Course
DESCRIPTION:Winter transforms the landscape into a world of adventure\, challenge\, and discovery. The OCC Winter Field Leader course focuses on developing the skills\, judgment\, and leadership qualities needed to safely and confidently lead groups in winter environments while providing a practical framework for assessing and managing seasonal risks. \nEffective outdoor leadership cannot be learned solely in a classroom—it is built through direct experience and immersion in the outdoors. That’s why this course takes place in the heart of the backcountry\, surrounded by the spectacular winter scenery of Elk Lakes Provincial Park. \nOver the course of this overnight adventure\, you’ll travel into Elk Lakes Cabin\, develop your leadership abilities through hands-on learning\, and earn a nationally recognized outdoor certification. Along the way\, you’ll connect with a community of passionate\, like-minded outdoor enthusiasts while exploring one of the Rockies’ most beautiful winter landscapes. \nWhether you’re an educator\, guide\, outdoor professional\, or simply someone looking to expand their leadership skills\, this course offers the perfect blend of professional development\, adventure\, and unforgettable mountain experiences. \nCourse Itinerary\nNovember 17 | Pre-Trip Meeting (7:00–8:00 p.m.)\nJoin your fellow participants for a virtual Meet & Greet designed to ease any pre-trip apprehensions\, answer questions\, and help you get to know your future adventure buddies. \nDuring this session we will: \n\nReview the itinerary and waiver\nDiscuss packing and gear recommendations\nReview the menu and meal planning\nCover safety procedures and emergency protocols\nAnswer any final questions before departure\n\nNovember 21 | Day 1\nParticipants will meet at 9:00 a.m. at the Peter Lougheed Discovery Centre before convoying to the Elk Pass Trailhead. \nDepending on snow conditions\, we will either hike or snowshoe into Elk Lakes. Snowshoes and traction devices are available for participants\, ensuring we are prepared for whatever conditions the mountains provide. \nThe journey to the hut covers approximately 10 km through spectacular mountain scenery. Along the way\, participants will engage with Winter Field Leader concepts through experiential learning activities\, discussions\, and practical leadership opportunities. \nUpon arrival at the Elk Lakes Cabin\, you’ll have time to settle in and enjoy complimentary appetizers and charcuterie before preparing your own dinner using the hut’s kitchen facilities. The evening concludes with course discussions\, mountain camaraderie\, and a campfire under the winter sky. \nNovember 22 | Day 2\nThe morning begins with a short local adventure around the hut area\, followed by the final course assessment. \nParticipants will then have the opportunity to practice and refine their leadership skills while taking turns leading portions of the hike back to the trailhead. \nOur goal is to return to the Elk Pass Trailhead no later than 3:00 p.m. \nWhat’s Included\n\nACMG Hiking Guide & OCC Instructor\nOCC Winter Field Leader Manual & Certification Fee\nElk Lakes Hut Accommodation (1 night)\nAccess to Snowshoes and Traction Devices (conditions dependent)\nComplimentary Appetizers & Charcuterie\nWater Filtration Equipment\nGroup Safety and Emergency Equipment\n\nWhat’s Not Included\n\nTransportation\nKananaskis Conservation Pass\nBackpack (50–80 litres recommended)\nSleeping Bag\nPersonal Winter Clothing and Layers\nMeals: Lunch (2)\, Dinner (1)\, Breakfast (1)\n\nFor more information about the Elk Lakes Hut and its amenities\, please visit the linked website above. \nCancellation Policy:\nCancellation by The Path Less Taken due to circumstances beyond our control (e.g.\, park closures\, highway closures\, natural disasters): Participants may transfer their full payment to another PLT trip or receive a full refund. \nParticipant cancellations made within 14 days of the trip start date: 50% refund or option to transfer full payment to another PLT trip \nNo refund for no-shows
