-Feel free to check out the list of required gear and sample course schedule before you apply.
-The fees work as follows:
Two-month option (May and June):
The fees for this option are $8,700.00.
Click here for a breakdown on course fees.
Four-month option (May, June, July, and August):
The fees for this option are waived (free) since students are volunteering their time to lead trips for the summer.
*We generally encourage students to opt for the four-month option that is free since it helps solidify the learning from training. The experiential nature of leading trips in the summer for CLBC is where most of the learning happens, and CLBC is always in need of qualified and competent volunteers. The two-month option (for a fee) is a great way for students to take their learning to another organization that needs qualified and competent backpacking leaders. Price flexibility is available for those needing assistance.
**Fees include: tuition, food, accommodation, equipment usage, certificate and licensing fees, books and materials, and transportation to/from program events. Click here for a breakdown on course fees.
***The Lanea Schroeder Scholarship is available for those pursuing the two-month option. See here.
