For many who don’t know about the National Outdoor Leadership School it is the leader in wilderness education. It is made up of people who love the Outdoors and the Environment!! NOLS offers Courses all over the world that will not only leave you with hands on experience for the job market but also college credit. The Leadership skills that you learn on these trips can be acquired nowhere else and will develop you into a stronger person both physically and mentally. My trip was to the Yukon for two weeks of hiking in the mountains and two weeks of white water canoeing on the Hyland River. I was able to meet fellow students and now friends from all over the world, from Israel to Vancouver, and Louisiana to Chicago. I was able to build my own perspectives of different cultures and to-do so in a war free, stress free, pristine environment. The life we live in today is often fast and stressful and I found that there is no better place than the wilderness to relieve you of these burdens. NOLS offers a scholarship and more information can be found at the NOLS WEB SITE. You only live once and you are not doing your soul justice if you don’t experience these pristine places on earth!!!!
