All Majors Welcome

You will pick gear, plan meals, and get comfortable moving through the backcountry, then put it all together on a real 2- to 3-night backpacking trip. No experience needed, just good boots and a willingness to carry a pack.

Covers the real basics of SUP: how the board and paddle work, balance and control, and water safety, following the American Canoe Association's SUP curriculum. Field days happen out on the water, not just in a classroom.

You will learn how top-rope climbing actually works, how to move on the wall, and how to stay safe while doing it. Two full field days take you out to real climbing areas close to CCU to put it into practice.

Learn how to set up your gear, cast a fly line, and understand the bugs and stream life that make fish bite. A relaxed, hands-on way to spend a few afternoons outside.

You will spend time learning to actually notice what is around you: identifying plants and wildlife, reading the landscape, and understanding the ecosystems you are hiking through. Includes an overnight field session.

You will hike several easy to moderate peaks with a group, learning trip planning, gear, and how to handle altitude along the way. It is as much about the conversations on the trail as the summit.

You will travel through two or three canyons with an instructor, learning rappelling, anchors, knots, and how to read weather and flash flood risk along the way. One of the most hands-on courses OLP offers.

Learn to plan a route, read terrain, and make good calls when the trail disappears. These are the core skills that make every other backcountry course easier.

Building on Rock Climbing II, you will learn traditional gear placement, multi-pitch strategy, and how to manage risk while leading a group outdoors. Also covers teaching and facilitation skills for future OLP leaders.

Prerequisite: OUL208 or instructor permission, must lead sport routes 5.10a or higher.
