Wilderness Leader Intern
Spent the summer leading groups of young adults on 1-2 week-long wilderness canoe trips in the Boundary Waters. Engaged in intensive leadership training to prepare to lead wilderness trips. Was responsible for start-to-finish wilderness route planning, building a complete trip plan, facilitating student development, guiding on-trail group development, teaching backcountry survival techniques to students, and briefing and debriefing trips with full-time staff. Worked alongside a team of wilderness guides, closely collaborating with a co-leader as we planned and executed our trips.
