Backpack Service Project

Spring Into Action on this great wilderness service project. This trip will do half a day of wildlife enhancement work on top of Klickitat Canyon, then backpack into a remote campsite later that afternoon spending the night in just the gear you carried in on your backs. Spring is in full bloom in the Gorge by this this time in April, and wildflowers should be popping up all over. Since the rainfall this far east is minimal, plenty of sunny skies and spectacular scenery are expected!

Open House: The Job Hunt

The final Open House topic for fall term will be about summer employment and job opportunities in the field of outdoor education. We know that summer is quite a while away; however, winter break is a great time to fill out applications as y’all do not have school work.  A summer of experience is one of the requirements for those who wish to become trip leaders at College Outdoors and a summer leading trips is a summer well-spent! We want to provide a structure in order to share all of the job resources available through folks at CO and to give you a leg-up during the application process.
