Description and details:

Training for those interested in becoming leaders for hikes and walks at lower elevations in three seasons. This session will allow you to become a class 1 or 2 leader for NH chapter. Exercises in group dynamics, trip planning and logistics, participant screening, communication, handling difficult behaviors, and how to post your trip for approval. Outdoor practice in leading and basic map and route finding. This training is a good introduction to leading hikes and has been of interest to those considering becoming trip leaders for the first time.

The group members will use different learning techniques to try out and understand the many roles of a leader and how to apply these to outings. Come prepared to spend the day outdoors learning by doing. Bring your pack for a fall day hike, hiking clothes, boots, and a trail lunch. Maps and instructional materials will be provided.
