WORKSHOP DETAILS:
The goals of the workshop are to learn and enhance leadership and group management skills; to bring people and programs together to share and exchange ideas; to welcome new outdoor leaders; to learn what it takes to lead for other outings programs of the Sierra Club; and once again, to have a lot of fun. This workshop is for new and seasoned leaders from Sierra Club’s Inner City Outings (ICO), Local Outings (Group & Chapter), and National Outings (the trips in Sierra magazine).  

The workshop agenda includes interactive modules on trip planning, group management, interpersonal leadership skills, emergency response and much more.  Topics will be facilitated in both large group and small breakout group formats.  Sessions will also include teamwork and scenario-based role plays.

The workshop is facilitated by OATP trainers (volunteer and staff) who speak from a wealth of personal trip leading experience.  

As an added benefit, this workshop will fulfill both the Outings Leader Training 101 and Outings Leader Training 201 requirements.
