Help the Outing Club make sweet trips happen! This weekend, aka fall reading period, Alex Beecher and myself will be leading a Mountain Guide training trip. Going on a training trip is the first step of the process towards being certified to lead trips for WOC (the other major requirement is to co-lead a trip with a current Mountain Guide). We're looking for people with some outdoor experience who want to get more involved with WOC. Note that former WOOLF leaders do *not* need to come on this trip to become Mountain Guides; they only need to co-lead a trip with a current Mountain Guide (email 10anb for more information). Frosh are especially welcome to come on this trip, as are upperclassmen with outdoor experience who did not lead a WOOLF trip. The trip will be a one-night overnight in Hopkins Forest, leaving Sunday afternoon and returning early Monday afternoon (10/11-10/12). We'll practice all the skills of camping, go over basic outdoor leadership skills and the WOC protocols for leading trips, and generally have a good time in the woods.
