This school takes place on the Wild & Scenic Rogue River in the beautiful state of Oregon. 
The majority of this four-day school will be based on an experiential learning format (e.g., learning and practicing skills through hands-on experience). However, due to the nature of some of the topics being presented within the school, there will be regular assigned readings and group discussions of those readings. All required readings will be provided to you, but your commitment to actually doing the readings is a must! Just as the quality of a guided river trip is interdependent upon all of its participants engaging within the group, so too, the quality of a student’s learning is interdependent with all the students’ active participation within the entire school.

 No prior experience is required to participate in this leadership school, but we also welcome experienced boaters who are simply interested in learning more about running rivers and have no interest in becoming a professional guide. With that noted, the school is designed to accommodate a wide variety of experience levels, and we welcome the participation from even an experienced river guide. A varying level of experience within the group of students affords opportunities for the more experienced students to assume leadership responsibility earlier in the course. Please come join us for this adventure in learning what it takes to be a professional river guide within the outdoor adventure leadership industry.
