Kodiak Challenge at MSR, June 22 - 29, 2013
The Kodiak Challenge is unique in that it is offered in a trek format. Kodiak is the opportunity to put the leadership skills learned in ILSC or NYLT to use in a fun way that is internalized by the participants. In other words, it is a challenging trek with simple and fun leadership skills included. Kodiak is not taught indoors or in a classroom; it is done completely outdoors using nature’s examples of leadership.   Click here for more information or to register.
 
 
New Youth Protection Training Policy Effective June 1, 2012 - Adult applications must be accompanied by a valid Youth Protection Training certificate.  Adult applications received without the certificate will not be accepted or processed, but returned to the applicant or unit.  For more information, click here.
