Becoming a Trip leader (a rough overview)
- Anyone can shadow a trip, reach out to leaders! You learn how they prepare and get to go on an awesome trip.
- Leader Training Trip: we are working on a way to get all those skills learned without the classic pre COVID 2 night LTT.
- Wilderness First Aid: we are working on figuring out how to get that certification, which is required to become a trip leader.
- Co-Lead a trip with an experienced leader
- Interview with K-Council, this is really fun just a conversation with Taryn, Bentley, Alexis, or Molly.
- Become a Colby Certified Driver, Security has a form and then there is a moodle quiz you have to take and pass.
- Lead Trips
