High Adventure Training



Our training courses are designed to help prepare the new Trek Leader for taking scouts into the wilderness and provide updated information for the veteran Trek Leader. Backpack Awareness classroom training is followed with a day hike to provide field experience with map and compass and a weekend overnight hike to let you experience what you've been told about. This training is offered twice a year, the last weekend of February and the last weekend of September. Winter Backpack training is put on in January. If you have questions about the training contact Joe Bouchard at (714) 505-4502. The following schedules are typical for the classroom trainings. As you can see we cover a wide range of topics and we include guest experts on several topics.
